6. Density Amount of mass per unit volume of a material.
Unit of density is kg/m3 or gm/cm3.
Example:
Density of water is 1000 kg/m3, or 1 g/cm3.

7. Springs: Hooke’s Law
Question: If you wish to triple the stretching of a spring, how much more force do you need to apply?

8. Elastic Properties of Materials
Question: If you double the thickness how much force do you need to stretch it the same?
Question: If you double the length how much force do you need to stretch it the same?

9. Puzzles
P1. If you apply a force of 100 N to a rope and you stretch it by 1 cm, by how much would it be stretched by a 200 N force (everything else being equal)
P2. A spring with a stiffness (spring constant) of 500 N/m needs to be stretched by 1 cm. How much force do you need to apply to it?
P3. A rope pulled by a force is stretched by 1 mm. By how much will it be stretched by the same force if the rope were 4x longer and 2x wider?
P4. A 10-cm-long spring extends to 12 cm when a 1-kg load is suspended from it. What would be its length if a 3-kg load were suspended from it? Ans. 16 cm
