Question

Problem 32P

A spring with a force constant of 3.5 × 104 N/m is initially at its equilibrium length. (a) How much work must you do to stretch the spring 0.050 m? (b) How much work must you do to compress it 0.050 m?

Solution

Step 1 of 4

(a)

For the given spring with force constant , we need to calculate the work that has to be done on the spring to stretch the spring for a distance  form its equilibrium length.

Work done on the spring for stretching it from equilibrium length is given by,
