Answer:

C. 4.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Force, F = 10 pounds

Extension, e = 3 inches

First of all, we would determine the spring constant (k) using the following formula;

Force = spring constant * extension

10 = spring constant * 3

Spring constant = 10/3

Spring constant = 3.33 pounds per inches.

Next, we would find the extension of the spring when a force of 15 pounds is applied;

F = ke

15 = 3.33 * e

Extension, e = 15/3.33

Extension, e = 4.5 inches.

Answer:2 7/12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation: First, convert 1 3/4 to improper fraction form which will give you 7/4. Then find the common denominator of 5/6 and 3/4. The common denominator is 24. 5/6=20/24. 7/4=42/24. 20/24+42/24= 2 7/12.
