The figure  shows a pellet about to be fired from a sling. The total unstretched length of the rubber band is 80mm. The rubber band elongates 1mm for every 15N force.Given: a=100mm b=40mm 1. As the pellet is about to be released, how much is the elongation on each leg (mm) of the rubber band? 2. What is the force (N) exerted on each leg of the rubber band? 3.  What is the pulling force (N)?
