Concept explainers
A spring has a spring constant k of 88.0 N/m. How much must this spring be compressed to store 45.0 J of potential energy?
The length to which the spring should be stretched to get 45J.
Answer to Problem 27P
Solution:Spring should be stretched to
Explanation of Solution
Given: Spring constant k= 88.0 N/m
Potential energy stored= 45 J
Formula Used:
The potential energy stored in spring is given by
Where, k is the spring constant
x is the stretched length of the string
Calculations: Length to be stretched in order to gain the potential energy of 45 J is given by
Conclusion: Spring should be stretched to
