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?

- Hooke's law states that F=kx where F is the spring force. Based on my knowledge, force applied to a spring will change in respect to the elongation of the spring so the force applied is not constant. Then what does F stand for since force on spring is varying? The average force needed to pull the spring over the distance or the maximum force a person has to apply? Or does the understanding have a factual error. Thanks so much!arrow_forwardA mass of 2 kg is hung from a steel wire (of diameter 1.0 mm and length 3 m) attached to the ceiling.
