uppose that 3 J of work is needed to stretch a spring from its natural length of 32 cm to a length of 49 cm. (a) How much work (in J) is needed to stretch the spring from 37 cm to 45 cm

Answer:

0.113 J

Explanation:

Applying,

w = ke²/2................. Equation 1

Where w = workdone in stretching the spring, k = spring constant, e = extension

make k the subject of the equation

k = 2w/e²................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: w = 3 J, e = 49-32 = 17 cm = 0.17 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

k = (2×3)/0.17²

k = 6/0.17

k = 35.29 N/m

(a) if the spring from 37 cm to 45 cm,

Then,

w = ke²/2

Given: e = 45-37 = 8 cm = 0.08

w = 35.29(0.08²)/2

w = 0.113 J
