Answer:
53.41 N/m
Explanation:
From Hooke's law,
Applying,
F = ke............. Equation 1
Where F = Force, e = extension, k = force constant of the aortal material
Make k the subject of the equation
k = F/e............. Equation 2
From the question,
Given: F = 1.8 N, e = 3.37 cm = 0.0337 m
Substitute these values into equation 2
k = 1.8/(0.0337)
k = 53.41 N/m
Hence the force constant of the aortal material is 53.41 N/m
