(A) The spring constant $k$ is defined by Hooke's Law as $F = kx$,where $F$ is the applied force (load) and $x$ is the extension.From the graph,the extension $x$ is zero when the load is $1 \, kg$. This indicates an initial offset.We consider the change in load $\Delta F$ and the corresponding change in extension $\Delta x$.At load $F_1 = 1 \, kg$,extension $x_1 = 0 \, cm$.At load $F_2 = 4 \, kg$,extension $x_2 = 30 \, cm$.Therefore,$\Delta F = F_2 - F_1 = 4 - 1 = 3 \, kg$.And $\Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 30 - 0 = 30 \, cm$.The spring constant $k$ is the reciprocal of the slope of the extension versus load graph (or $k = \frac{\Delta F}{\Delta x}$):$k = \frac{3 \, kg}{30 \, cm} = 0.1 \, kg/cm$.

List-$I$	List-$II$
$(A)$ $A$ force that restores an elastic body of unit area to its original state	$(I)$ Bulk modulus
$(B)$ Two equal and opposite forces parallel to opposite faces	$(II)$ Young's modulus
$(C)$ Forces perpendicular everywhere to the surface per unit area same everywhere	$(III)$ Stress
$(D)$ Two equal and opposite force perpendicular to opposite faces	$(IV)$ Shear modulus

The pointer reading versus load graph for a spring balance is as given in the figure. The spring constant is ........ $kg/cm$.
