Question

i am a bit unsure where i messed up on part b , if you could show steps that would be great

Hooke's law describes a certain light spring of unstretched length 34.2 cm. When one end is attached to the top of a
doorframe and a 6.75 kg object is hung from the other end, the length of the spring is 40.4 cm.
(a) Find its spring constant.
1.066
kN/m
(b) The load and the spring are taken down. Two people pull in opposite directions on the ends of the spring
with a force of 199 N. Find the length of the spring in this situation.
