9) Consider a plot of the displacement (x) vs. applied force (F) for an ideal elastic spring. The slope of the curve would beSelect one:A. the reciprocal of the displacement.B. the spring constant.C. the reciprocal of the acceleration of gravity.D. the reciprocal of the spring constant.E. the acceleration of gravity.

Answer :

From Hooke's law

[tex]F\propto x[/tex][tex]F=kx[/tex]

Here, F is force and x is displacement and k is spring constant.

Hence the slope of ideal elastic spring will be the spring constant.
