(a) The spring constant is 500 N/m.
(b) The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is 0.05 m.
(c) The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is 2.5 N.
The given parameters:
- Applied force, F = 10 N
- Extension of the spring, x = 20 mm
The spring constant is calculated as follows;
The extension of the spring when 25 N force is applied is calculated as follows;
The applied force to cause an extension of 5 mm is calculated as follows;

Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!
