Question

please help me about this problem.
   A spring compresses in lengthby 0.12 in. for every 1 lbf of applied force. Determine thedeflection, in inches, of the the spring caused by the weight of anobject whose mass is 15 lb. The local acceleration of gravity is g= 31.4 ft/s^2. please help me about this problem.

Explanation / Answer

Fgrav=mg         =15lb*31.4ft/s2*1 lbf/32.174lb-ft/s2         =14.639lbf deflection x=0.12in/lbf*14.6391lbf x=1.7566in i hope this helps best of luck with rest of your coursework
