Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance a coiled spring stretches varies directly with the amount of weight hanging on the spring.

Distance = D

Weight = W

Hence:

D ∝ W

D = kW

Where k is constant of proportionality

Step 1

We solve for k

If a spring stretches 2 cm when a 30 gram weight is hung from it.

2 = 30k

k = 2/30

k = 1/15

Step 2

how far will it stretch when a 75 gram weight is hung from the spring?

D = kW

We are solving for D

k = 1/15

D = 1/15 × 75

D = 5 cm

The spring would stretch 5cm with a weight of 75 gram.

A cube shaped tissue box is made entirely of cardboard. The tissue box has a length of 5 in.
Daniel [21]
A cube has equal length, height and depth.

The area of one face is 5inches * 5inches, which would equal 25inches^2.

Multiply this by 6, for the 6 faces on a cube, and we get 150inches^2 of cardboard.
