Question 11

An engineer is testing a micro-suspension spring designed for an autonomous delivery drone.

The spring constant (kkk) of this high-performance spring is 180 N/m.

During a landing simulation, the spring is stretched so that its extension is 0.045 m.

Calculate the magnitude of the tensile force acting on the spring.

Use the equation:

force=spring constant×extension \text{force} = \text{spring constant} \times \text{extension} force=spring constant×extension
