Answer:

distance when the weight is 8 kg is 26.66 cm

Explanation:

given data

distance d2 = 10 cm

weight w2 = 3 kg

weight w1 = 8 kg

to find out

distance when the weight is 8 kg

solution

we consider here distance d1 when weight is 8 kg

so equation will be

d1/d2 = w1/w2

d/10 = 8/ 3

so d = 8/3 × 10

so d = 26.66

distance when the weight is 8 kg is 26.66 cm
