Question

According to the graph above, how large of a force is needed in order to stretch the string 1.00 meters?

Answer 1

My guess for this one would be; 400 N

My reasoning would be; it starts at 0 on both X and Y, if you need to get to 1.00 meters thats 4/4. 1/4 of 1.00 is .25, and on .25 its on 100 so multiply it by 4 to make 1.00 and you get 400 N

Answer 2

Answer:

The needed force is 400 N.

Explanation:

We need to calculate the force for 1.00 m string

According to graph,

The force applied for stretch from 0.10 to 0.15 is 20 N.

0.10-0.15 = 0.05 m

So, the force applied is 20 N for 0.05 m.

For stretch 0.05 m = 20 N

For stretch 1 m = $\dfrac{20}{0.05}= 400\ N$

Hence, The needed force is 400 N.
