The stress of a springer millimeters is proportional to the weight in grams attached to the end of the spring find the unit rate
The unit rate would be the amount of stress in millimeters per gram of weight attached to the spring.
To find the unit rate, we need to determine the stress of the spring for a weight of 1 gram.
Let's assume that the stress of the spring is given by the equation "stress = k * weight," where k is the constant of proportionality.
If we consider the weight as 1 gram, then the stress will be equal to k * 1.
Therefore, the unit rate is simply the value of k.
To find the unit rate, we need to determine the how many millimeters the spring stretches per gram of weight attached to it. The unit rate will have units of millimeters per gram.
To do this, you can conduct an experiment by attaching different weights to the spring and measuring the amount the spring stretches for each weight. Then, calculate the stress (millimeters) per weight (grams) for each trial.
For example, let's say we conduct the experiment and find that when we attach a 100 gram weight, the spring stretches 10 millimeters. We can calculate the unit rate as follows:
Unit rate = (stretch in millimeters) / (weight in grams)
= 10 millimeters / 100 grams
= 0.1 millimeters/gram
Therefore, the unit rate in this case is 0.1 millimeters/gram. This means that for every gram of weight attached to the spring, it will stretch by 0.1 millimeters.
Repeat this process for multiple weights and calculate the stress-to-weight ratio each time in order to determine the consistent unit rate.
