An experiment is performed to find the spring constant of a spring that follows Hooke’s law. A load is suspended from the spring, and the spring’s extension is measured. Which calculation is used to calculate the spring constant?
- A$\frac{\text{extension}}{\text{mass of the load}}$
- B$\frac{\text{extension}}{\text{weight of the load}}$
- C$\frac{\text{mass of the load}}{\text{extension}}$
- D$\frac{\text{weight of the load}}{\text{extension}}$
