To determine the spring constant for spring 2 (the third column), we can use **Hooke's Law**, which states that:

\[
F = k \cdot x
\]

where:
- \( F \) is the force (first column),
- \( k \) is the spring constant (what we're trying to find),
- \( x \) is the extension or displacement (third column).

To find \( k \), we rearrange the equation:

\[
k = \frac{F}{x}
\]

We can calculate the spring constant for each row using this formula, then check if the constant is approximately the same (since Hooke’s Law assumes a linear relationship for small deformations). Let's calculate \( k \) for each pair of force and displacement values for spring 2.

### Data provided:
| Force (N) | Spring 2 Displacement (m) |
|-----------|---------------------------|
| 1         | 0.1                       |
| 1.5       | 0.16                      |
| 2         | 0.18                      |
| 2.5       | 0.22                      |
| 3         | 0.24                      |
| 3.5       | 0.37                      |
| 4         | 0.41                      |
| 4.5       | 0.41                      |
| 5         | 0.49                      |
| 5.5       | 0.44                      |
| 6         | 0.58                      |

I'll now calculate \( k \) for each row to determine if there is a consistent spring constant for spring 2.The spring constants (\( k \)) calculated for each pair of force and displacement values for spring 2 are:

\[
\begin{aligned}
&10.00, \ 9.38, \ 11.11, \ 11.36, \ 12.50, \ 9.46, \ 9.76, \ 10.98, \ 10.20, \ 12.50, \ 10.34
\end{aligned}
\]

These values fluctuate slightly, but they are close to an average value of around **10.5 N/m**, indicating that the spring constant for spring 2 is approximately **10.5 N/m**.

Would you like more details or have any questions?

Here are five related questions to consider:
1. How does the spring constant affect the force applied?
2. What are the typical sources of error in measuring the spring constant?
3. How can we determine if a spring follows Hooke's Law?
4. Why do we observe variations in the spring constant values?
5. Can a spring's constant change over time due to material fatigue?

**Tip:** The spring constant is specific to each spring's material and design, so even small irregularities in construction can lead to slight variations in calculated constants.
