Elastic deformation — practice question

A spring measures $9.0\,\text{cm}$ in length when a $200\,\text{g}$ mass is attached to it. The graph of extension against mass for the spring is given. The $200\,\text{g}$ mass is changed to a $100\,\text{g}$ mass. What would the spring’s new length be?

  • A$7.0\,\text{cm}$
  • B$8.0\,\text{cm}$
  • C$9.0\,\text{cm}$
  • D$10\,\text{cm}$
