Chapter 14, Problem 100A

To determine

To Write: A problemto fit the given equation by comparing it with a real life objects.

Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The given equation is of form $mg=kx$

Where, mstands for mass which is in kilograms, gis acceleration due to gravity measured in $\text{N/kg}$ .

k is spring constant and x is the length measured in meters.

A $\text{1}\text{.65kg}$ watermelon is been placed in the basket in the supermarket.If the spring of the scale is stretched by $\text{1}\text{.5m}$ , what will be the value of the spring constantk ?

Conclusion:

Hence, the real-life object example of watermelon product sale in supermarket is comparable to the given equation by satisfying its variable components.
