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

Question 78

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 dd that the spring is compressed or stretched from its original length. That is, F=kdF = k d where kk is a measure of the stiffness of the spring and is called the spring constant. The table shows the elongation dd in centimeters of a spring when a force of FF 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.

A) d=0.675Fd = 0.675 F
B) d=0.118 Fd = 0.118 \mathrm {~F}
C) d=0.112Fd = 0.112 F
D) d=0.095Fd = 0.095 F
E) d=0.905Fd = 0.905 F
