Question

Initial Height of Spring Bottom (m): .123

Mass on Hanger (kg): 0.005

Height of Bottom (m): .115

Stretch Distance (m): ?????

Weight on Hanger (N):?????

Answer 1

Stretch distance is the difference between initial height of the spring bottom and the height of the spring bottom after a mass is put on the hanger. So, the stretch distance is (.123 m - .115 m) which is equal to .008 m .

Weight is mass times the acceleration due to gravity i.e. for mass M kg the weight is

where .

For mass on hanger equal to 0.005 kg, the weight on hanger is .
