Question
If a bar in a structure compresses $2 \mathrm{~cm}$ under a force of 5 newtons applied to a node, how far will it compress under a force of 20 newtons applied at the same node?
Step 1
The problem states that a bar compresses by 2 cm under a force of 5 newtons. This suggests a linear relationship between the force applied and the displacement of the bar, assuming the material remains within its elastic limit. Show more…

Stretching a rubber band A force of 2 $\mathrm{N}$ will stretch a rubber band 2 $\mathrm{cm}(0.02 \mathrm{m}) .$ Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, how far will a $4 . \mathrm{N}$ force stretch the rubber band? How much work does it take to stretch the rubber band this far?
Solve each problem. The force required to compress a spring is directly proportional to the change in length of the spring. If a force of 20 newtons is required to compress a certain spring $2 \mathrm{cm},$ how much force is required to compress the spring from $20 \mathrm{cm}$ to $8 \mathrm{cm} ?$ (FIGURE CANNOT COPY)
