In the arrangement of the first figure, we gradually pull the block from x = 0 to x = +3.0 cm, where it is stationary. The second figure gives the work that our force does on the block. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by Ws = 2.0 J. We then pull the block out to x = +7.0 cm and release it from rest. How much work does the spring do on the block when the block moves from x;= +7.0 cm to (a) x = +3.0 cm, (b) x = -2.0 cm, and (c) x = -7.0 cm?

In the arrangement of the first figure, we gradually pull the block from x = 0 to x = +3.0 cm, where it is stationary. The second figure
gives the work that our force does on the block. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by Wę = 2.0 J. We then pull the block out to x
= +7.0 cm and release it from rest. How much work does the spring do on the block when the block moves from x₁ = +7.0 cm to (a) x =
+3.0 cm, (b) x = -2.0 cm, and (c) x = -7.0 cm?
