    Answer:

    2.63 cm

    Explanation:

    Hooke’s law gives that the force F is equal to cy where c is spring constant and x is extension

    Making c the subject of the formula then

    c=\frac {F}{y}

    Since F is gm but taking the given mass to be F

    c=\frac {5.4 kg}{4.3 cm}=1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930

    By substitution now considering F to be 3.3 kg

    y=\frac {3.3 kg}{1.2558139534883720930232558139534883720930}=2.6277777777777 cm\approx 2.63 cm
