Respuesta :

Ans    4 more to be exact

Explanation:

The force applied to the spring will be "400 N".

Given values are:

Spring constant,

  • k = 40 N/m

and,

  • x = 10 m

The force will be:

→ [tex]F = kx[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

      [tex]= 40\times 10[/tex]

      [tex]= 400 \ N[/tex]

Thus the above answer is right.
