The extension of an elastic spring is found to vary directly with the weight
suspended from it. If a weight of 75 kg produces an extension of 1.4 cm,
calculate the weight that would produce an extension of 9.8 cm.

1 kg = 1000g
75kg = 75000g
Extension = 14/10
In second case
Weight = x
Extension = 98/10
Cross multiplication
75000*98/10=14/10*x
Multiplying both sides with 10
7350000 = 14x
14x = 7350000
x = 7350000/14
x = 525000
In gram, x = 525000 gm
In kilograms, x = 525 kg
