Hooke's Law in Physics States That If a Spring at Rest

Multiple Choice

Hooke's Law in physics states that if a spring at rest (equilibrium position ) has a weight attached to it, then the distance the spring stretches is directly proportional to the force (weight) .
F = kxwhere
F is the force in Newtons(N) , x is the distance stretched in meters (m) , and k is the spring constant (N/m) .A force of 429 N will stretch the spring 33 cm. How much force to the nearest Newtons is required to stretch the spring 72 cm?

A) 196.63 N
B) 936.00 N
C) 1,019,304.00 N
D) 9.36 N
