(b) For a spring whose equilibrium position is at x = 0 cm, we must apply a force of magnitude 80 N to hold the block stationary at x = -2.0 cm. From that position, we then slowly move the block so that our force does +4.0 J of work on the spring - block system; the block is then again stationary. What is the block's position? (Hint: There are two answers.)

Describe a situation in 4iich a force is exerted for a long time but does no work. Explain.
Repeat the preceding problem, but this time, suppose that the work done by air resistance cannot be ignored. Let the work done by the air resistance when the skier goes from A to B along the given hilly path be —2000 J. The work done by air resistance is negative since the air resistance acts in the opposite direction to the displacement. Supposing the mass of the skier is 50 kg, what is the speed of the skier at point B ?
Cite two examples in which a force is exerted on an object without doing any work on the object.
