If the spring is cut in half, its stiffness will increase and it will stretch less for the same load. The new stretch will depend on the new stiffness of the spring. Without knowing the exact stiffness of the original spring and the new one, it is difficult to determine the exact stretch without calculations.
If the spring is cut in half, it will have half the original stiffness. So, when 12 N is suspended from the cut spring, it will stretch twice as much as before - 20 cm.
since the springs share the load the stretch displacement is load divided by the sum of the spring constants. If the springs are identical the stretch is one half of the stretch with only the one spring, or 2.5 cm
There is more force applied to the top of the spring than the bottom, because the whole spring is hanging from the top, but only a small part is hanging from near the bottom. The larger force stretches the spring more.
A spring scale measures weight by measuring the force necessary to stretch or compress a spring in the device. The more the spring stretches or compresses when an object is hung from it, the greater the force or weight of the object. This force is then translated into a weight reading on the scale.
The value of the spring constant in this system is a measure of the stiffness of the spring and determines how much force is needed to stretch or compress the spring by a certain distance.
It will stretch 6 cm.

If a 2.5N extends the spring for 0.1m, so a 7.5N will extend 3 times that, a 0.3m.

The value of the spring constant in this system is a measure of the stiffness of the spring and determines how much force is needed to stretch or compress the spring by a certain distance.
The work done to stretch the spring is given by the formula W = (1/2)kx^2, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement. First, calculate the spring constant using Hooke's Law (F = kx). Then, use the calculated k value to find the work done to stretch the spring 5m beyond its natural length.
The spring constant is calculated by dividing the weight of the object (29 N) by the distance it stretches the spring (11 cm). First, convert 11 cm to meters by dividing by 100 (0.11 m), then divide the weight by the stretch distance to get the spring constant: 29 N / 0.11 m = 263.6 N/m.
The force that stretches a spring is called tension force. This force appears when the spring is being pulled or stretched in one direction.
The ratio of force applied to how much the spring streches (or compresses). In the SI, the spring constant would be expressed in Newtons/meter. A larger spring constant means the spring is "stiffer" - more force is required to stretch it a certain amount.
When you stretch a spring, two main forces are acting on it: the restoring force exerted by the spring itself, trying to return to its original shape, and the external force applied to stretch the spring. These forces create tension within the spring until a new equilibrium is reached.
