Given data
*The given mass is m = 1.8 kg
*The spring stretches is x = 6.6 m
*The value of the acceleration due to the gravity is g = 10 m/s^2
The formula for the spring constant is given as
[tex]k=\frac{mg}{x}[/tex]Substitute the known values in the above expression as
[tex]\begin{gathered} k=\frac{(1.8)(10)}{(6.6)} \\ =2.72\text{ N/m} \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the spring constant is k = 2.72 N/m
