Helmholtz Free Energy

The Helmholtz free energy is a thermodynamic potential used to calculate the measure of useful work from a closed system. This system is kept at constant temperature and volume. German physicist Hermann Helmholtz introduced this concept in 1882.

An archery bow is drawn a distance d = 0.75 m and loaded with an arrow of mass m = 0.067 kg. The bow acts as a spring with a spring constant of k = 195 N/m, and the arrow flies with negligible air resistance. To simplify your work, let the gravitational potential energy be zero at the initial height of the arrow. a. How fast, in meters per second, will the arrow be traveling as it leaves the bow? b. If the arrow is shot at an angle of θ = 45° above the horizontal, how high, in meters above the initial height, will the arrow be when it reaches its peak?
