If the question is true or false then the answer is true
Answer:
1.05m or 105cm
Explanation:
Using the hooke's law equation as follows;
F = –k.x
Where;
F = force (N)
x = extension length (m)
k = constant of proportionality (N/m)
According to the information given in this question;
Displacement (x) = 85cm = 85/100 = 0.85m
Force = 12500N
Using F = kx, we find the proportionality constant
k = F/x
K = 12500/0.85
K = 14705.8N/m.
Also, since K = 14705.8N/m, the displacement (x), when the force increases to 15500N is;
F = kx
x = F/k
x = 15500/14705.8
x = 1.05m or 105cm
