Chapter 7, Problem 7.27P
When different loads hang on a spring, the spring stretches to different lengths as shown in the following table. (a) Make a graph of the applied force versus the extension of the spring. (b) By least-squares fitting, determine the straight line that best fits the data. (c) To complete part (b), do you want to use all the data points, or should you ignore some of them? Explain. (d) From the slope of the best-fit line, find the spring constant k. (c) If the spring is extended to 105 mm, what force does it exert on the suspended object?

The mass of the block depicted in the image is 2.94 kg. The spring has a spring
constant of 77.2 N/m. The coefficient of static friction between the block and the
floor is 0.735. Assume that the spring makes no contact with the floor and
therefore friction only acts on the block.
How far must the block and spring assembly be compressed to just barely
overcome the force of static friction acting on the block?
Report your result in meters.
