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.

A horizontal, rigid bar of negligible weight is fixed against a vertical wall at one end and supported by a vertical string at the other end. The bar has a length of 50.0 cm and is used to support a hanging block of weight 400.0 N from a point 30.0 cm from the wall as shown in Figure P14.81. The string is made from a material with a tensile strength of 1.2 108 N/m2. Determine the largest diameter of the string for which it would still break. FIGURE P14.81

Review Conceptual Example 2 as an aid in solving this problem. An object is attached to the lower end of a 100-coil spring that is hanging from the ceiling. The spring stretches by 0.170 m.

By how much does each spring stretch? -50-coil spring
A spring of unstreched length 25 cm is pulled in a horizontal direction with 150 N force. Since we apply a force in a horizontal direction, the spring is stretched to 28 cm. Now we suspend the spring from a hook in a vertical direction and attached a 15 kg mass at the bottom. How long my spring will stretch?
