Answer:

the force applied to the rubber band is -9.3N

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the force applied to the rubber band is shown below;

We know that

Force in newtons = Spring constant × amount of extension

F = -k × x

where

-k = 62 N/m

And, x = 0.15m

So, the force applied is

= -62N/m × 0.15m

= -9.3N

hence, the force applied to the rubber band is -9.3N
