QUESTION:
Problem 43HP
A linear spring, F = ks(x − x0) with spring constant ks = 500 N/m, is stretched until it is 100 mm longer. Find the required force and the work input.
ANSWER:
Solution 43 HP
Step 1 of 2
We have to find the force required and the work input in stretching a spring until it is 100 mm longer.
The force required in the stretching the spring can be found using the expression,
where,
spring constant = 500 N/m
100 mm
Hence,
Therefore, the force required in stretching the spring until it is 100 mm is 50 N.
