Concept explainers

Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

When a 4.25-kg object is placed on top of a vertical spring, the spring compresses a distance of 2.62 cm. What is the force constant of the spring?
Hooke’s Law for an elastic spring states that the distance a spring stretches varies directly as the force applied. If a force of 160 newtons stretches a spring 5 cm, how much will a force of 368 newtons stretch the same spring?
According to Hooke’s Law, the force required to stretch a helical spring is proportional to the distance stretched. The natural length of a given spring is 8cm. A force of 4kg will stretch it to a total of 10 cm. Find the work done in stretching the spring from its natural length to a total length of 16 cm.
A student measures the force required to stretch a spring by various amounts and makes the graph is shown in (Figure 1), which plots this force as a function of the distance the spring has stretched. What force would be needed to stretch the spring a distance of 13 cmcm from its unstretched length, assuming that it continues to obey Hooke's law?
According to Hooke’s Law, the force (lb), F, required to hold a spring in place when its displacement from the natural length of the spring is x (ft), is given by the formula F = kx where k is called the spring constant. The value of k varies from spring to spring. Suppose that it requires 120 lb of force to hold a given spring 1.5 ft beyond its natural length What, including unit, is the constant value of dF/dx?
