Hooke's Law States That the Force F Required to Compress

question 120

Multiple Choice

Hooke's Law states that the force F required to compress or stretch a spring (within its elastic limits) is proportional to the distance d that the spring is compressed or stretched from its original length. That is, where k is the measure of the stiffness of the spring and is called the spring constant. The table below shows the elongation d in centimeters of a spring when a force of F kilograms is applied.
Find the equation of the line that seems to best fit the data. Use the model to estimate the elongation of the spring when a force of 30 kilograms is applied. Round your answer to one decimal place.

• A) 6.0 centimeters
• B) 4.0 centimeters
• C) 8.0 centimeters
• D) 3.0 centimeters
• E) 2.0 centimeters
