The force an ideal spring exerts on an object is given by Fx = -kx, where x measures the displacement of the object from its equilibrium (x = 0) position. If k = 60 N/m, how much work is done by this force as the object moves from x = -0.20 m to x = 0? Select one: a. +3.6 J b. +2.4 J c. -1.2 J d. -2.4 J e. +1.2 J

A spring obeys a force law F(x) = -kx^1.1 with k = 100 N/m^1.1. Find the work required to stretch the spring 0.3 m past equilibrium.

The force, $F$, required to compress a spring by a distance $x$ meters is given by $F=3 x$ newtons. Find the work done to compress the spring to $x=3$, starting at the equilibrium position, $x=0$.
