Suppose a spring is attached vertically to the ceiling of an elevator. When a 5.00Kg mass is attached to the spring, it descends a distance of 25.5 cm. a) what is the spring constant of the spring? I found out that it was 192 N/m, so my problem is with part B! b) how far would the spring stretch if the elevator were accelerating up at a rate of 3.50 m/s2? I just want to know what I should do, because I don't know! Thanks!
