Determine the force constant for given spring

Reference no: EM13715773

Problem: A spring of unknown force constant is attached to a rod so that it hangs vertically. With no mass attached, the spring has a length of 12.0 cm. When a student attaches a mass of 50 grams, the spring stretches to a length of 18.0 cm.

Part A: Determine the force constant for this spring?

Please show your results in detailed calculations.
