Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule

Reference no: EM13696278

Question: A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.14 Âµm 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 1.34% upon becoming charged, and remains in this equilibrium position.

Question I: Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.

N/m

You must show your work in an efficient manner so I can understand it in clearly. Thanks.
