Question: A molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is 2.14 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 1.34% upon becoming charged, and remains in this equilibrium position.
Question I: Determine the effective spring constant of the molecule.
