Rubber band force vs. length

** **

The force exerted by the Earth on each domino is about .19 Newtons.

** **

I am not exactly sure how to calculate the force for each rubber band.

For my first rubber band that I have is 10.23 cm (1 domino)

I know it is .19 newtons for 1 domino

How do I calculate the force for that rubber band?

@&

The rubber band is supporting the domino (as well as the rest of the rubber band, but the rest of the rubber band doesn't have a weight that's significant within the accuracy of this experiment).

So the rubber band is exerting a .19 N force.

Do I do this? 10.23 * .19 = 1.9437?

1.9437 being the newtons that are on that one rubber band?

See my note. Simpler than you were making it.
