Question
A spring oriented vertically is attached to a hard horizontal surface as in the figure below. The spring has a force constant of 1.44 kN/m. How much is the spring compressed when a object of mass m = 2.20 kg is placed on top of the spring and the system is at rest?
cm
Explanation / Answer
dy = Fy/k = m*g/k = 2.20*9.8/1.44E3 =your answer calculate
