A force of 15 N will stretch a rubber band 10 cm (0.10 m). Assuming that Hooke's law applies, how far will an 18 -N force stretch the rubber band? How much work does it take to stretch the rubber band this far?

    Answer: a) extension = 0.12m, b) work done = 2.16 J

    Step-by-step explanation: according to hooke's law, provided that elastic limit is kept constant force (f) is proportional to extension (e).

    F = ke, k = F / e.

    F1/e1 = F2/e2

    F1 = 15 N, e1 = 0.10m, F2 = 18 N, e2 = ?

    15/0.10 = 18/e2

    e2 = 18 * 0.10 / 15

    e2 = 1.8/15

    e2 = 0.12m.

    Work done at this extension = F2 * e2

    Work done = 18 * 0.12 = 2.16 J
