The line graph shows the length of a spring when various masses are hung on it.
- What is the length of the spring when a 60 g mass is hung on it?
- What is the mass hung on the spring when its length is 59 cm?
- What is the length of the spring when it is not stretched?
- How many centimetres is the spring stretched after a mass of 80 g is hung on it?
(a)
Length of the spring when a 60 g mass is hung on it = 77 cm
(b)
Mass hung on the spring when its length is 59 cm = 20 g
(c)
Length of the spring when it is not stretched = 50 cm
(d)
Length of the spring that is stretched after a mass of 80 g is hung on it
= 86 - 50
= 36 cm
Answer(s): (a) 86 cm; (b) 40 g; (c) 50 cm; (d) 36 cm
