Q #1: The force applied is directly proportional to the stretch of a coil. If a force of 132 Newtons stretches a coil 0.07 meters, what force would be needed to stretch a coil 0.1 meter? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
A. 92.4 Newtons
B. 1885.7 Newtons
C. 188.6 Newtons
D. 136.0 Newtons
Answer Explanation
In direct proportion relation, we utilize the relationship as:
Variable∝
Variable 2Thus from the given case,
Force∝
stretchWe introduce a constant term, K to remove the sign of proportionality as
Force=K* stretch
Let’s find the value of K, using Force=132 N and stretch of 0.07 m
132 N=K*0.07 m
K=132 N/0.07 m=1885.7 N/m
Now substitute this value of K in the following equation
Force=1885.7 N/m * stretch
For a stretch of 0.1 m, the force needed is
Force=1885.7 N/m * 0.1 m=188.57 N=188.6 N

Q #2: Four friends are sharing a pizza. One friend eats half of the pizza. The other three friends equally divide the rest among themselves. What portion of the pizza did each of the other three friends receive?
A. 1/5
B. 1/3
C. ¼
D. 1/6
Answer Explanation
We assume the pizza to be full representing 1. One friend eats ½ of 1=1/2
The remaining portion of the pizza=1-1/2=2/2-1/2=1/2
Three friends share equally ½ of the pizza=1/2÷3=12*13=1/6
