Springs can store potential energy. Hookeās Law, F = - kx, states that extending Springs can store potential energy. Hooke's Law, F=-kx, states that extending a spring with spring constant
k a distance x requires a force F to be applied. If we remember that F=-d(U)/(d)x, where U is potential energy,
then what is the maximum amount of mechanical work that can be extracted from a mass on a spring with
spring constant k=400 Newton/meter (a Newton is 1kg meter sec^(-2) ), that was extended 2 meter from its
equilibrium position? To get you started, use a bit of calculus by integrating F=-d(U)/(d)x to obtain the
potential energy for the extension of the spring as a function of x.a spring with spring constant
