The drawing shows three identical springs hanging from the ceiling. Nothing is attached to the first spring, whereas a 4.5−N block hangs from the second spring. A block of unknown weight hangs from the third spring. From the drawing, determine (a) the spring constant (in N/m) and (b) the weight of the block hanging from the third spring. (a) Number Units (b) Number Units
