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 1.06% upon becoming charged. Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule. (this is my last attempt help)

Answer #1

Force between the two ends of singly ionized molecule ( attractive force between a proton and an electron)

Spring force provied by compression

After compression, distance between the ends of the spring

Compression in the spring

Spring constant
