Answer:
14.6 N
Explanation:
Force: This can be defined as the product of mass and acceleration. The S.I unit of Force is Newton(N).
From Hook's law,
F = ke ..................... Equation 1
Where F = Force on the object, k = spring constant, e = compression.
Given: k = 146 N/m, e = 0.1 m.
Substitute into equation 1
F = 146(0.1)
F = 14.6 N.
Hence the force on the object = 14.6 N
