Answer :

Answer: 0.246 m

Explanation:

The formula for Hooke's law is given by:

F = kx, where:

  • F is the force applied to a spring (N)
  • k is the spring constant (N/m)
  • x is the change in spring compression or the change in length of the spring (m)

We are given:

  • F = 7.33 N
  • k = 0.298 N/cm = 29.8 N/m

Let's plug these values into the formula:

7.33 = (29.8)(x)

Solve for x:

x = 0.246 m

The change in length is 0.246 m.
