Question
Consider a spring that does not obey Hooke's law
very faithfully. One end of the spring is fixed. To keep
the spring stretched or compressed an amount x, a
force along the x-axis with x-component
F, = kx – b2 + cx must be applied to the free
end. Here k = 100 N/m, b = 700 N/m2, and
c = 12, 000 N/m³. Note that x > 0 when the
spring is stretched and x <0 when it is compressed.
Part A
How much work must be done to stretch this spring by 0.050 m from its unstretched length?
Express your answer in joules.
nν ΑΣφ
W =
J
Part B
How much work must be done to compress this spring by 0.050 m from its unstretched length?
Express your answer in joules.
W =
J
