Chapter 5, Problem 61GP
BIO || A student attaches a series of weights to a tendon and measures the total length of the tendon for each weight. He then uses the data he has gathered to construct the graph shown in Figure 5.67, giving the weight as a function of the length of the tendon, (a) Does this tendon obey Hooke’s law? How do you know? (b) What is the force constant (in N/m) for the tendon? (c) What weight should you hang from the tendon to make it stretch by 8.0 cm from its unstretched length?
