How to use the Spring equation Force = Spring Constant x Extension

How to use the Spring equation If we want Force, cover up Force ÷ Spring Constant X Extension We multiply the Spring Constant by the Extension

How to use the Spring equation If we want Spring Constant, cover up Spring Constant Force ÷ Spring X Extension Constant We divide Force by the Extension

How to use the Spring equation If we want Extension, cover up Extension Force ÷ Spring Extension X Constant We divide Force by the Extension

Questions If a bungee rope has a spring constant of 60 N/m. How far will it extend (stretch) if a person who weighs 600 N (mass = 60 Kg) is placed on it?

How to use the Spring equation If we want Extension, cover up Extension Force ÷ Spring Extension X Constant We divide Force by the Extension

Questions If a bungee rope has a spring constant of 60 N/m. How far will it extend (stretch) if a person who weighs 600 N (mass = 60 Kg) is placed on it? Extension= Force ÷ Spring Constant =600 N ÷ 60 N/m =10 m Force ÷ Spring Extension X Constant

Questions A bungee rope has a spring constant of 50 N/m. How much must a person weigh in N if it we want it to extend (stretch) 20 m?

How to use the Spring equation If we want Force, cover up Force ÷ Spring Constant X Extension We multiply the Spring Constant by the Extension

Questions If a bungee rope has a spring constant of 50 N/m. How much must a person weigh in N if it we want it to extend (stretch) 20 m? Force = Extension x Spring Constant = 20 m x 50 N/m = 1000 N Force (100 Kg) ÷ Spring X Extension Constant

Practice Questions 1. If a bungee rope has a spring constant of 5 N/m. How far will it extend (stretch) if a person who weighs 300 N (mass = 30 Kg) is placed on it? e = 60 m 2. If a bungee rope has a spring constant of 15 N/m. How much must a person weigh in N if it we want it to extend (stretch) 10 m? F = 150 N 3. What is the spring constant of a bungee rope in N/m if a person weigh 200 N if it we want it to extend (stretch) 20 m? k = 10 N/m
