Q-2) A spring balance is calibrated in an environment at a temperature of 25℃ and

has the following deflection/load characteristic:
Load (kg) 0 1 2 3
Deflection (mm) 0 25 50 75
It is then used in an environment at a temperature of 40℃, and the following
deflection/load characteristic is measured:
Load (kg) 0 1 2 3
