2.) The force required to stretch a spring by 1 m from its unstretched length is
150 N. What is the force required to stretch the spring by 3 m?

A. 600 N

B. 450 N

C. 300 N

D. 200 N

Answer 1

B. 450 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Hooke's law:

F = kx

150 N = k (1 m)

k = 150 N/m

F = kx

F = (150 N/m) (3 m)

F = 450 N
