    When a mass on a spring that has been compressed 0.1 m has a restoring force of 20 N, then the value of spring constant (k) : - 200 N/m

    Explanation:

    Spring Constant:

    According to Hooke's law, The force required to compress or extends spring is directly proportional to the distance it is compressed or stretched.

    Given

    x = - 0.1 m

    F = 20 N

    F - - kx

    k = - f/x

    = - 20 / - 0.1 = 200 N/m

    The value of spring constant is 200 N/m.
