Hooke's Law States That the Force Required to Compress or Stretch a Spring (Within Its Elastic
Hooke's Law states that the force required to compress or stretch a spring (within its elastic limits) is proportional to the distance that the spring is compressed or stretched from its original length. That is, , where is the measure of the stiffness of the spring and is called the spring constant. The table below shows the elongation in centimeters of a spring when a force of 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 50 kilograms is applied. Round your answer to one decimal place.
