Answer:
x = 6.05 cm
Explanation:
Given that,
Force acting on the spring, F = 4.3 N
The spring constant of the spring, k = 71 N/m
We need to find the compression distance. The force acting on the spring is given by :
[tex]F=kx[/tex]
Where
x is the compression distance
So,
[tex]x=\dfrac{F}{k}\\\\x=\dfrac{4.3}{71}\\\\x=0.0605\ m[/tex]
or
x = 6.05 cm
So, the compression distance is 6.05 cm.
