QUESTION:
Working a spring A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 50 N.
a. How much work is done in stretching the spring 1.5 m from its equilibrium position?
b. How much work is done in compressing the spring 0.5 m from its equilibrium position?
ANSWER:Solution 19E Step1 Given that A spring on a horizontal surface can be stretched and held 0.5 m from its equilibrium position with a force of 50 N Step2 To find a. How much work is done in stretching the spring 1.5 m from its equilibrium position b. How much work is done in compressing the spring 0.5 m from its equilibrium position Step3 By Hooke’s law, the work required to stretch a spring from equilibrium to a position 0.5 m from equilibrium is 0.5 0
