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

question 38

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, $F = k d$ where $k$ is a measure of the stiffness of the spring and is called the spring constant. The table shows the elongation $d$ in centimeters of a spring when a force of $F$ newtons is applied. Use a graphing utility to plot the data and graph the linear model.
