6.38 Leg Presses. As part of your daily workout, you lie on your back and push with your feet against a platform attached to two stiff springs arranged side by side so that they are parallel to each other. When you push the platform, you compress the springs. You do 80.0 J of work when you compress the springs 0.200 m from their uncompressed length. (a) What magnitude of force must you apply to hold the platform in this position? (b) How much additional work must you do to move the platform 0.200 m farther, and what maximum force must you apply?

A stone used in the sport of curling has a mass of 18.0 kg and is initially at rest, sitting on a flat horizontal ice surface. It is pushed with a constant horizontal force of magnitude 24.0 N over a distance of 4.00 m. Starting from your calculated values for acceleration and final speed, calculate the duration of the bush. Compare this with the time calculated from the average power supplied during the push and the amount of work done.
