Answer:

7167.27N/m

Explanation:

To get the force constant k, we will use the formula;

F = kx where

F is the force acting on the object down the plane

k is the spring constant

x is the extension

The force acting down the ramp us F = Wsintheta. The formula will become;

Wsintheta = kx

mgsintheta = kx

K = mgsintheta/x

K = (800)(9.8)sin47°/0.8

K= 7840sin47°/0.8

K = 5733.81/0.8

K = 7167.27N/m

Hence the spring constant of the spring is 7167.27N/m
