A massless spring with a force constant K = 40 N/m hangs vertically from the ceiling. A 0.2 kg block is attached to the free end of the spring and held in such a position that the spring has its natural length and suddenly released. The maximum elastic strain energy stored in the spring is (take g = 10 m/s^2 ): A. 0.1 J B. 0.2 J C. 0.05 J D. 0.4 J

An ideal spring is hung vertically from the ceiling. When a 2.0 kg mass hangs at rest from it, the spring is exerted 6.0 cm from its relaxed length. An upward external force is then applied to the block to move it upward a distance of 16 cm. While the block is being raised by the force, the work done by the spring is A. -1.0 J B. -0.52 J C. -0.26 J D. 0.52 J E. 1.0 J
