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

The equation of a line with slope m passing through a point P(a, b) is given by
(y-b)=m(x-a).
We can consider any of the points (-1, 7), or (2, 10). Let's choose (2, 10):
y-10=1(x-2)
y-10=x-2
y-x=-2+10
y-x=8
