one and five eighteenths
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
k = 
Step-by-step explanation:
Fisherman noticed a stretch in the spring = 'b' centimetres
Weight of the fish = a kilograms
If force applied on a spring scale makes a stretch in the spring then Hook's law for the force applied is,
F = kΔx
Where k = spring constant
Δx = stretch in the spring
F = weight applied
F = mg
Here 'm' = mass of the fish
g = gravitational constant
F = a(9.8)
= 9.8a
Δx = b centimetres = 0.01b meters
Therefore, 9.8a = k(0.01b)
k =
k = 
Therefore, spring constant of the spring will be determined by the expression, k = 
X - y = 5,
x = 5 + y
substitute (x = 5 + y) into the first equation,
5 + y + 2y = -1
3y = -6
y = -2,
substitute y = -2 into (x - y = 5),
x + 2 = 5
x = 3
Hence, x = 3, y = -2
