Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

The left end of a spring is attached to a wall. When Bob pulls on the right end with a 200N force, he stretches the spring by 20 cm. The same spring is then used for a tug of war between Bob and Carlos. Each pulls on his end of the spring with a 200N force. How far does the spring stretch. Explain
A spring is 16.5 cm long when it is lying on a table. One end is then attached to a hook and the other end is pulled by a force that increases to 22.0 N, causing the spring to stretch to a length of 19.0 cm. How long will the spring be if the 22.0 N force is replaced by a 44.0 N force?

The nuchal ligament in a horse supports the weight of the horse’s head. This ligament is much more elastic than a typical ligament, stretching from 15% to 45% longer than its resting length as a horse’s head moves up and down while it runs. This stretch of the ligament stores energy, making locomotion more efficient. Measurements on a segment of ligament show a linear stress-versusstrain relationship until the stress approaches 0.80. Smoothed data for the stretch are shown. The segment of ligament tested has a resting length of 40 mm. How long is the ligament at a strain of 0.60?A. 46 mmB. 52 mmC. 58 mmD. 64 mm
