A $60.0\,\text{g}$ mass is hung from a spring, and the measured distance from the bottom of the spring to the floor is $16.4\,\text{cm}$. The mass is then changed to a $100.0\,\text{g}$ mass, and the new distance from the bottom of the spring to the floor is $12.6\,\text{cm}$. The spring obeys Hooke’s law. What is the spring constant of the spring?
- A$1.05\,\text{N m}^{-1}$
- B$1.35\,\text{N m}^{-1}$
- C$10.3\,\text{N m}^{-1}$
- D$103\,\text{N m}^{-1}$
