Question
A linear spring, $F=k_{s}\left(x-x_{0}\right)$ with spring constant $k_{s}=500 \mathrm{N} / \mathrm{m}$ is stretched until it is $100 \mathrm{mm}$ longer. Find the required force and the vork input.
Step 1
This is mathematically represented as $F=k_{s}\left(x-x_{0}\right)$, where $F$ is the force, $k_{s}$ is the spring constant, $x$ is the final position, and $x_{0}$ is the initial position. Show more…

A linear spring, $F=k_{s}\left(x-x_{0}\right)$ with spring constant $k_{s}=500 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m},$ is stretched until it is 100 $\mathrm{mm}$ longer. Find the required force and the work input.
A linear spring, $F=k_{s}\left(x-x_{0}\right),$ with spring constant $k_{s}=35$ lbf/ft, is stretched until it is 2.5 in. longer. Find the required force and work input.
A spring with $k=10.0 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{cm}$ is initially stretched $1.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ from its equilibrium length. a) How much more energy is needed to further stretch the spring to $5.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ beyond its equilibrium length? b) From this new position, how much energy is needed to compress the spring to $5.00 \mathrm{~cm}$ shorter than its equilibrium position?
