When a 6kg block is placed on a vertical spring, the spring is compressed by 20cm. How much work is required to compress the spring by an additional 10CM​

Sagot :

Answer:

Mass of block = 6kg

wright = 6 × g = 60 N using g = 10 m/s^2 .

compression= 0.20m

spring constant =( weight / compression) =( 60/0.20) = 300 N/m .

Work done in compressing 0.20 m =( 1/2 × 300 × 0.20 × 0.20)= 6 joule.

Additional compression = 0.10 m

total compression = 0.20+ 0.10= 0.30 m.

Total work done = ( 1/2 × 300 × 0.30× 0.30) = 13.5 joule.

Hence work done in compressing from 0.20 m to 0.30 m will be = ( 13.5 - 6) = 7.5 joule.

Note :- work done in compressing a spring having spring constant K N/m by x m is equal to 1/2× (K) × X^ 2 .
