Elastic deformation — practice question

A group of students plan to use a spring to construct a spring balance with a linear scale. The graph shows how the spring’s extension varies as the load on it changes. What is the full range of a balance with a linear scale that uses this spring?

  • A$0\,\text{N}\ \text{to}\ 10\,\text{N}$
  • B$0\,\text{N}\ \text{to}\ 12\,\text{N}$
  • C$10\,\text{N}\ \text{to}\ 12\,\text{N}$
  • D$10\,\text{N}\ \text{to}\ 14\,\text{N}$
