Q48 of 54 Page 135

A spring constant is 4 x 103 N/m. How much work will be done to compress the spring to 0.04 m?

Spring constant (k) = 4 x 103 N/m


Compression of the spring (x) = 0.04m


Work done by the spring is equal to the potential energy produced,






W = 3.2 J


Hence, the work done by the spring is 3.2 J.
