Answer

$4.4K\frac{N}{m}$

Work Step by Step

We know that $\tau=rF$ $\implies F=\frac{\tau}{r}$ We plug in the known values as $F=\frac{81}{(0.38)sin22^{\circ}}$ $F=570N$ Now we can find the force constant as $K=\frac{F}{x}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $K=\frac{570}{0.44-0.31}=4400\frac{N}{m}=4.4K\frac{N}{m}$
