The length, L (in inches), of a spring is given by L = ( 3 4 ) F + 8 , where F is applied force in pounds. What value of F will produce a length of 40 inches?

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.94N

Step-by-step explanation:

A linear equation relating the force applied to the length increase has been proposed according to the question.

The equation is :

L = 34F + 8

Now we are having a length of 40 inches, we need to know the value of the force that would have made such an increase.

First, we substitute L for 40 in the equation.

40 = 34F + 8

34F = 32

F = 0.94N
