The reading of spring scale.

A hands-on physics experiment using a spring scale to measure friction and force on a weighted block over carpet

When calibrating a spring scale, you need to know how far the spring stretches for various weights. Hooke's law states that the length a spring stretches is proportional to the weight attached to it. A model for one scale is ℓ=0.5 w 3 where ℓis the total length (in inches) of the stretched spring and w is the weight (in pounds) of the object. a. Find the inverse of the given model. b. If you place a weight on the scale and the spring stretches to a total length of 6.5 inches, how heavy is the we
