AI Generated Solution

To justify that the spring constant (k) is a dimensional constant, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship involving the spring constant. The spring constant is derived from Hooke's Law, which states that the force (F) exerted by a spring is proportional to the displacement (x) from its equilibrium position. Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ F = -kx \] where: - \( F \) is the force applied (in Newtons, N), - \( k \) is the spring constant (in Newtons per meter, N/m), ...
