N/m (b) the distance (in cm) the spring stretches if you replace the 2.80 kg object with a 1.40 kg object What two forces are acting on the object when it reaches equilibrium? How are these forces related? Can you use the relationship between these two forces to find an expression for the desired stretch in terms of other known information? cm (c) the amount of work (in J) an external agent must do to stretch the spring 8.00 cm from its unstretched position How does the work done by the external agent compare to the work done by the spring and to the change in potential energy of the cprina? 1
