    It's 36 [N/m] x 0.02 [m] = 0.72 N

    0.72 N

    Explanation:

    K = 36 N/m, y = 0.02 m

    The force applied by teh rubber band is given by

    F = - k x y

    F = - 36 x 0.02 = - 0.72 N

    The negative sign shows the direction of force which is opposite to the direction of displacement.
