Q:
The distance a spring will stretch varies directly with how much weight is attached to the spring. If a spring stretches 11 inches with 75 pounds attached, how far will it stretch with 65 pounds attached? Round to the nearest tenth of an inch.
Accepted Solution
A:
find ratio:
y = Kx
11 = K(75)
k = 11/75
now find new value:
y = (11/75)*65
y = 9.5 inches
