Answer to Problem 48A

The spring constant of the spring is 20 .

Explanation of Solution

Given: x and y co-ordinates are given below:

  (0,0) and (0.8,16) .

Formula used:

The expression used to find the spring constant is:

  k=y2y1x2x1

Where, k : spring constant.

Calculation:

The following expression is used to find the spring constant:

  k=y2y1x2x1

Put the given values:

  k=y2y1x2x1k=(160)(0.80)

  k=20

Conclusion:

The spring constant of the spring is k=20 .

Answer to Problem 48A

The spring potential energy is 2.5 J.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Length: 0.50 m

Spring constant: 20

Formula used:

The following expression is used to find the spring potential energy:

  E=12kx2

Where,

  E : Spring potential energy.

  k : spring constant.

  x : Length.

Calculation:

The expression used to calculate thespring potential energy:

  E=12kx2

Put the given values.

  E=12kx2E=12×20×(0.50)2E=2.5J

Conclusion:

The potential energy of the spring is E=2.5 J.
