The staples inside a stapler are kept in place by a spring with a relaxed length of 0.115 m. If the spring constant is 51.0 N/m, how much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring when its length is 0.150 m?

Answer 1

E = 0.5*k*x^2 = (0.5)*(51N/m)*(.15m - .115m)^2 = .031238 J

Answer 2

thankyou

Answer 3

The staples inside a stapler are kept in place by a spring with a relaxed length of 11.5 cm. The spring constant is 51.0 N/m. How much elastic potential energy is stored in the spring when its length is 8 cm?
