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

question 13

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 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 the regression capabilities of a graphing utility to find a linear model for the data. Round the numerical values in your answer to three decimal places.
