Spring example problem

This video tutorial explains how to determine the total length of a spring with a 3 kg bucket of water hanging from it. It covers the properties of the spring, such as stiffness and unstretched length, and uses a free body diagram to identify forces acting on the bucket. By applying Newton's laws, the tutorial calculates the stretch of the spring and ultimately finds the total length when the bucket is attached.
