Answer: 0.192 N/m
Explanation:
Well, generally when a Hooke's Law experiment is performed the plot is in fact Force vs Displacement, being the Force (in units of Newtons) in the Y-axis and the Displacement (in units of meters) in the X-axis.
In addition, if we add a linear fit the resultant equation will be the Line equation of the form:
[tex]Y=mX+b[/tex]
Where [tex]m=\frac{Y_{2}-Y_{1}}{X_{2}-X_{1}}[/tex] is the slope and [tex]b[/tex] is the point where the line intersects the Y-axis.
So, if the equation is:
[tex]Y=0.192X+0.011[/tex]
The slope of this line is [tex]0.192 N/m[/tex] which is also the spring constant [tex]k[/tex].
