Answer:
Explanation:
A Spring stretches / compresses when force is applied on them and they are governed by the Hookes Law which states that the force required to stretch or compress a spring is directly proportional to the distance it is stretched.

F is the force applied and x is the elongation of the spring
k is the spring constant.
negative sign indicates the change in direction from equilibrium position.
In the given question, we dont have force but we know that the pan is hanging. We also know from the Newton's second law of motion that

Inserting this into Hooke's Law

computing it for x,

This is the model which will tell the length of the spring against change in the mass located in the pan.
The wave-particle dual nature of light has been documented and tested many times.
Choice A
Answer:
The correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.
Explanation:
Abdominal breathing is a condition in which inferior half of the lungs can be seen relaxing or contracting and expanding with the breath. This condition occurs due to the various conditions that lead to the respiratory.
It is cause due to the damage to nerves that control the diaphragm. The phrenic nerve is one of the nerve of diaphragm initiates in the neck and passes down.
Thus, the correct answer is - Damage to the nerves that control the diaphragm.
The phrenic nerve is a nerve that originates in the neck (C3–C5) and passes down between the lung and heart to reach the diaphragm.
