Asked by Kudo

A spring with spring constant of 27 N/m is stretched 0.2 m from its equilibrium position. How much work must be done to stretch it
an additional 0.065 m? Answer in units of J

Potential energy stored = work in
W = (1/2) k x^2
dW/dx = k x = Force

dW = k x dx

approximately delta W = k x delta x
delta W = 27 * .2 * .065 Joules

Work done = Potential Energy change.
= (1/2)*k[0.2065^2 - 0.200)^2]

where k = 27 N/m

The answer will be in Joules if the stretch distance X is in meters, as above
