Question

Is the extension of a spring directly proportional indirectly proportional or inversely proportional to the force applied

Answer 1

For a given object, extension of string is directly proportional to the force applied. This means extension increases on increasing the force applied.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The extension of an elastic object such as spring is described by Hooke's law,

• Hooke's law says that the force required to extend or compress the spring by any distance increases or decreases directly to the distance to which it is extended or compressed.

• F= K e

where,

K is Spring constant

F is Force applied

and e is the length of the string to be increased or decreased
