Ravi hung different loads on a spring and measured its total length. The original length of the spring was 10 cm.<br><br>Load (g): 20 | 40 | 60<br>Total Length (cm): 12 | 14 | 16<br><br>What would the total length of the spring be if a 100g load is hung on it (within elastic limit)?

Worked Solution
Step 1: Calculate the extension per 20g load. 12cm - 10cm = 2cm extension for 20g.
Step 2: Determine extension for 100g. (100g / 20g) * 2cm = 10cm extension.
Step 3: Calculate total length. Original length (10cm) + Extension (10cm) = 20cm.
Correct answer: 20 cm
