The force F required to compress a spring a distance x is given by F – F0 = kx where k is the spring constant and F0 is the preload. Determine the work, in kJ, required to compress a spring a distance of 1 cm when its spring constant is 300 N/cm and the spring is initially compressed by a force of 100 N.
