You can put this solution on YOUR website! the stretch in a loaded spring varies directly as the load it supports. A load of 15 kg stretches a certain spring 3.6 cm
-----
s = k*L
Solve for "k":
3.6 = k*15
k = 0.24
--------------------
What load would stretch the spring 6 cm?
s = (0.24)*L
6 = 0.24*L
L = 25 kg
