The upper end of vertical spring of natural length 250 mm is attached to a fixed point. When a small object mass 0.15 kg is attached to the lower end of the spring , the spring stretches to an equilibrium length of 320 mm. calculate the extension of the spring at equilibrium
Calculate the spring constant

What formula do you need for this task ?

What did you calculate? Try Hooke's law. This is a very basic physics experiment that you should know. We will help, not do!

I don't think it is hooke's law. Can you just give me the formula that I need?

The answer should be 70mm but I am not sure which formula to use to get to the answer

Consider a simple helical spring that has one end attached to some fixed object, while the free end is being pulled by a force whose magnitude is https://upload.wikimedia.org/math/8/...1f09471012.png. Suppose that the spring has reached a state of equilibrium, where its length is not changing anymore. Let https://upload.wikimedia.org/math/0/...2e2dc6b383.png be the amount by which the free end of the spring was displaced from its "relaxed" position (when it is not being stretched). Hooke's law states that
