According to Hooke's law, the force required to stretch a helical spring is proportional to the distance stretched. The natural length of a given spring is 8 cm and a force of 4kg will stretch it to a total length of 10 cm. Find the work done in stretching it from 10cm to a total length of 16 cm in Joules.
