Use the data recorded in Table 1 to plot a graph of the Applied Force (vertical axis) vs. Distance Stretched (horizontal axis.) Plot the straight line of best fit. Use graph paper and a ruler. You also can use Excel. Note: F = mg, g = 9.8 m/s², mass must be expressed in kilograms, Distance Stretched must be expressed in meters, 1 m = 100 cm; 1 kilogram = 1000 grams 2. Determine the slope of the line in your graph by selecting two points on the line (don't select points from Table 1). This is the value of the spring constant k. Spring Constant = Include units.

In the reality television show "Amazing Race," a contestant is firing 12 kg watermelons from a slingshot to hit targets down the field. The slingshot is stretched from its equilibrium length by a distance of 1.8 m, and the watermelon is at ground level, 0.3 m below the launch point. The targets are at ground level 14 m horizontally away from the launch point. Calculate the spring constant of the slingshot (in N/m). (Assume the angle that the watermelon's velocity makes with the horizontal at the launch point is the same as the angle the slingshot makes with the horizontal when pulled back. Also assume the equilibrium length of the slingshot is negligible.)
