1. An object is attached to a spring with a spring force of \( F_{x}=-\frac{1}{x^{2}} \), and moves along the \( x \) axis after it is stretched out to point \( x_{1} \). a. Calculate the work done by the spring when the object moves from point \( x_{1} \) to a second point, \( x_{2} \).

(1I) A spring has $k = 65 \mathrm { N } / \mathrm { m }$ . Draw a graph like that in Fig. 11 and use it to determine the work needed to stretch the spring from $x = 3.0 \mathrm { cm }$ to $x = 6.5 \mathrm { cm } ,$ where $x = 0$ refers to the spring's unstretched length.
A nonlinear spring has a force versus the displacement relation of $F=k_{s}\left(x-x_{0}\right)^{n}$. If the spring end is moved to $x_{1}$ from the relaxed state, determine the formula for the required work.
A small object is attached to a horizontal spring, pushed to position $x=$ - $A$, and released. In one full cycle of its motion, the total distance traveled by the object is A. $\mathrm{A} / 2 .^{A / 2}$ B. $\mathrm{A} / 4 .^{A / 4}$ C. $A$. D. $2 A$. E. $4 A$.
