6. In the produce section of a supermarket, five pears are placed on a spring
scale. The placement of the pears stretches the spring and causes the dial
to move from zero to a reading of 2.0 kg. If the spring constant is 450 N/m,
what is the displacement of the spring due to the weight of the pears?
kg
A) 0.0044 m
B) 0.0088 m
C) 0.018 m
D) 0.044 m
E) 0.088 m
