Hooke's law states that the distance that a spring is stretched by hanging object varies directly as the mass of the object. If the distance is 160cm when the mass is 24 kg, what is the distance when the mass is 8kg?(round answer to two decimal places)
-----------------------------------
Hooke's law: d = km
Now when d = 160 cm and m = 24 kg
we will find k = d/m = 160/24 = 20/3
Now we have k = 20/3 and m = 8 kg.
Apply those values into formula d = km to find d:)
