DNA stretch The DNA molecule is spiral shaped, like a spring. A 10-mm-long DNA molecule has an effective spring constant of 10-8 N/m. Suppose a positive ion of charge +e is attached on one end of the molecule and a positive ion of charge +e is attached on the other end. What distance is the DNA stretched because of the electrical repulsion of these two ions?
