The length \( L \) of a spring is given by the equation:
\[ L = \left(\frac{3}{4}\right)F + 5 \]
where \( F \) is the applied force. What force \( F \) will produce a length of 8?
Answer (2)
The force F required to produce a length of 8 units in the spring is 6 units. ;
The force F needed to produce a length of 8 in the spring is 4 units. This is determined by substituting the length into the length equation and solving for F . After calculations, we isolate F and find that it equals 4.
