Answer:
Mass of the object will be 1.020 kg
Explanation:
We have given spring constant K = 100 N/m
Spring stretches to a length of 10 cm
Acceleration due to gravity [tex]g=9.8m/sec^2[/tex]
So x = 0.1 m
Spring force will be given by [tex]F=Kx[/tex]
This force will be equal to weight of the object
So [tex]mg=kx[/tex]
So [tex]m=\frac{Kx}{g}=\frac{100\times 0.1}{9.8}=1.020kg[/tex]
So mass of the object will be 1.020 kg
