Directions: Write your answer in the box. Round your answer to the nearest centimeter. Do not use spaces. The distance, D, that a spring is stretched by a hanging object varies directly as the weight, W, of the object. An object weighing 30 kilograms stretches the spring 49 centimeters. Determine the distance the spring will be stretched with an object weighing 29 kilograms. Round your answer to the nearest centimeter. 8 cm

### Problem 8
**The distance, D, that a spring is stretched by a hanging object varies directly as the weight, W, of the object. An object weighing 30 kilograms stretches the spring 49 centimeters. Determine the distance the spring will be stretched with an object weighing 29 kilograms. Round your answer to the nearest centimeter.**

- Answer:
  \[
  \_\_\_\_\_ \text{ cm}
  \]

### Problem 9
**The weight, W, that a horizontal beam can support varies inversely as the length, L, of the beam. A beam measuring 5 meters in length can support 430 kilograms. How much weight can a beam measuring 2 meters support?**

- Options:
  - A) 0.0233 kg
  - B) 43 kg
  - C) 1075 kg
  - D) 0.0009 kg

### Problem 10
**The current, I, in an electrical conductor varies inversely as the resistance, R, of the conductor. The current is 5 amperes when the resistance is 882 ohms. What is the current when the resistance is 428 ohms? Round your answer to two decimal places if necessary.**
