A spring stretches 5.0 cm when a 0.20 kg block is hung from it. If a 0.70 kg block replaces the 0.20 kg block, how far does the spring stretch?
we analyzed a cable used to support an actor as he swings onto the stage. Now suppose the tension in the cable is 940 N as the actor reaches the lowest point. What diameter should a 10-m-long steel cable have if we do not want it to stretch more than 0.50 cm under these conditions?
If it takes 5.30 N to stretch a spring 7 cm, and if the spring is then cut in 9 equal pieces, what force (in N) does it take to stretch one of the pieces 7 cm?

Since we apply a force in a horizontal direction, the spring is stretched to 28 cm. Now we suspend the spring from a hook in a vertical direction and attached a 15 kg mass at the bottom.

The tightrope walker creates a tension of 3.42 ✕ 103 N in a wire making an angle 6.2° below the horizontal with each supporting pole. Calculate how much this tension stretches the steel wire (in cm) if it was originally 16 m long and 0.50 cm in diameter. This question keeps getting rejected as incomplete. This is not incomplete. There is no image to accompany it. This is the entire question. PLEASE stop rejecting it.
