Answer :

Given data:

The given expression for the Hooke's law is,

[tex]\begin{gathered} y\propto x \\ y=kx \end{gathered}[/tex]

Substitute 15 pounds for x and 9 inches for y in the above expression.

[tex]\begin{gathered} 9=15x \\ x=0.6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The expression for the Hooke's law is,

y=0.6x

Substitute 61 pounds for x in the above expression.

y=0.6(61) in

=36.6 in

Thus, the final exttension in the spring is 36.6 in.
