A bathroom scale is compressed 1/12 in when a 150-lb person stands on it. Assuming that the scale behaves like a spring that obeys Hooke's Law, answer the following:

What is the scale's force constant?
Answer = lb/in
How much does someone who compresses the scale 1/8 in weigh?
Answer = lbs
How much work is done compressing the scale 1/8 in?
Answer = in-lb

16

step-by-step explanation:

2 x 40 = 80

80/5

= 16

dont understand

step-by-step explanation:

there is a formula i can give you:

it is r^2*n*sin(360/n) divided by 2 where r represents the "radius" and n is the number of sides.

plug them in:

(10sqrt(3))^2*6*sin(360/6) divided by 2

100*3*6*sin(60) divided by 2

900*sin(60)

900*sqrt(3)/2

450*sqrt(3)

approx is 779.4 cm^2
