Helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses

Reference no: EM13654189

A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.19 µm long. The ends of the molecule becomesingly ionized -- negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 1.12% upon becoming charged. Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.
