Harold the Hurler is a physics student who is renowned for his baseball pitching arm. In order to determine the amount of work he performs in throwing a baseball, Harold devises an experiment. He stands at the bottom of a deep pit and hurls a 0.147 kg0.147 kg baseball through an open third‑floor window in a nearby building. Harold's aim is so accurate that the ball then smoothly enters the tube of the Baseball Absorber that Harold invented and patented. In this device, the ball compresses a spring until it comes momentarily to rest, and this maximum amount of compression is recorded as 0.437 m.0.437 m. The spring's force constant is 813 N/m,813 N/m, and the position of the baseball's momentary rest is 7.73 m7.73 m above ground level. The point in the pit where the Hurler starts his pitch is 11.7 m11.7 m below ground level. How much work does Harold perform on the baseball? Take ?=9.80 m/s2.
