    Refer to the diagram shown below.

    k = 1500 N/m, the spring constant

    W = (3 kg) * (9.8 m/s²) = 29.4 N, the weight of the brick

    Let d = the deflection of the spring.

    By definition,

    W = k*d

    d = (29.4 N) / (1500 N/m) = 0.0196 m

    Answer: 0.0196 m

    The maximum distance the spring will stretch is 3.92 cm or 0.0392 m.
