Answer: the spring would be stretched by 38 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The length that a hanging spring stretches varies directly with the weight placed at the end of the spring. Let L represent the length of the spring and let w represent the weight placed at the end of the spring. Introducing a constant of variation, k, the expression would be

L = kW

If a weight of 15lb stretches a certain spring 19in, the expression would be

19 = 15k

k = 19/15

The equation would be

L = 19w/15

if the weight is increased to 30lb, then the length by which the spring would be stretched is

L = 19 × 30/15

L = 38 inches

Answer:

Lateral area of the smaller cylinder = 33.6 π mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Circumference of the base of a cylinder is 24π mm . A similar cylinder has a base with circumference of 60π mm. Since we are dealing with the circumference of two similar cylinder we need to know the scale factor.

The square factor can be expressed as follow

Scale factor is the ratio between the larger circumference of the larger cylinder to the  circumference of the smaller cylinder.

Scale factor = 60π/24π  = 2.5

The lateral area of the larger cylinder = 210π mm².

The scale factor  squared is equal to the ratio of the larger cylinder surface area to the smaller cylinder  surface area.

Therefore,

2.5² = 210π/a

where

a = surface area of the smaller cylinder

cross multiply

6.25 a = 210π

divide both sides by 6.25

a = 210π/6.25

a = 33.6 π mm²

Lateral area of the smaller cylinder = 33.6 π mm²
