Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule

Reference no: EM13325559

A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.35 µm long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 0.89% upon becoming charged. Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule in N/m?
