A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.11 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 1.18% upon becoming charged. Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.
Then length of molecule is 2.11*10^-6 m
Then equilibrium net force is zero.
