Hooke's law states that the magnitude of force,F,required to stretch a spring x units beyond its natural length is directly proportional to x.If a force of 3 pounds stretches a spring from its natural length of 10 inches to a length of 10.7 inches,what force will stretch the spring to a length of 11.5 inches? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
