A molecule of dna deoxyribonucleic acid is 232 microm long


Question: A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.32 µm long. The ends of the molecule become singly ionized: negative on one end, positive on the other. The helical molecule acts like a spring and compresses 0.88% upon becoming charged, and remains in this equilibrium position.

Question 1: Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.

N/m

Please show how you obtained the effective spring constant of the molecule.
