Answer:
<h2>16kg</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is borers on elasticity of materials.
according to Hooke's law,<em> "provided the elastic limit of an elastic material is not exceeded the the extension e is directly proportional to the applied force."</em>
where F is the applied force in N
k is the spring constant N/m
e is the extension in meters
Given data
mass m= 24kg
extensnion=15cm in meters= =
we can solve for the spring constant k
we also know that the force F = mg
assuming
therefore
We can use this value of k to solve for the mass that will cause an extension of
