Hooke's Law States That the Force FF Required to Compress or Stretch a Spring (Within Its Elastic

Question 35

Multiple Choice

Hooke's Law states that the force FF required to compress or stretch a spring (within its elastic limits) is proportional to the distance dd that the spring is compressed or stretched from its original length. That is, F=kdF = k d , where kk is the measure of the stiffness of the spring and is called the spring constant. The table below shows the elongation dd in centimeters of a spring when a force of FF kilograms is applied.
 Force, F Elongation, d202.8405.0608.08010.610013.2\begin{array}{|c|c|}\hline \text { Force, } \boldsymbol{F} & \text { Elongation, } \boldsymbol{d} \\\hline 20 & 2.8 \\\hline 40 & 5.0 \\\hline 60 & 8.0 \\\hline 80 & 10.6 \\\hline 100 & 13.2 \\\hline\end{array}

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 50 kilograms is applied. Round your answer to one decimal place.


A) 13.213.2 centimeters
B) 9.99.9 centimeters
C) 3.33.3 centimeters
D) 6.66.6 centimeters
E) 5.05.0 centimeters
