22. Hooke’s Law states that if a weight w is attached to a hanging spring, then the stretched length s of the
spring is linearly related to w. For a particular spring we have the equation s = 0.4w + 3.5 , where s is
measured in inches and w in pounds. How long is the spring when a 5-lb weight is attached?
