It takes 130 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10m. (a) What is the force constant of this spring? (b) To compress the spring an additional 0.10 m, does it take 130 J, more than 130 J or less than 130 J? Verify your answer with a calculation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J

Distance, x = 0.1 m

(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :

[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2\times 130}{(0.1)^2}\\\\k=26000\ N/m[/tex]

(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m

So,

[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26000\times 0.2^2\\\\W=520\ J[/tex]

So, the new work is more than 130 J.
