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 20 g mass is hung on it?
- What is the mass hung on the spring when its length is 52 cm?
- What is the length of the spring when it is not stretched?
- How many centimetres is the spring stretched after a mass of 25 g is hung on it?
(a)
Length of the spring when a 20 g mass is hung on it = 64 cm
(b)
Mass hung on the spring when its length is 52 cm = 10 g
(c)
Length of the spring when it is not stretched = 40 cm
(d)
Length of the spring that is stretched after a mass of 25 g is hung on it
= 70 - 40
= 30 cm
Answer(s): (a) 64 cm; (b) 10 g; (c) 40 cm; (d) 30 cm
