The work done in stretching a spring is given by W = | ´ kx.dx , where k is the spring
constant, in Newtons per metre, and x is the extension of the spring, in metres.
An unloaded spring is initially 500 mm long and has a spring constant of 2 kN/m.
(a)
Determine the work done in extending the spring from 600 mm to 700 mm,
stated
to 4 significant figures.
(b)
Sketch a graph of W against x, and indicate on it the work done found.
