If.the.wor.k.required to stretch a spring 3 ft beyond its natural length is 9 ft-lb, how much work is needed to stretch it 27 in. beyond its natural length?
ft-lb
Enter a number. dback
Please try again. Recall Hooke's Law: The force required to maintain a spring stretched x units beyond its natural length is proportional to x. So f(x) = kx, where k is the spring constant.
Start by setting up the integral for the work required to stretch the spring a given distance beyond its natural length for the case where work is given. Use this integral to find k, and use k to find
the amount of work needed to stretch the spring the given distance beyond its natural length for the case where work is unknown. Pay attention to units.
