Textbook Question

Chapter 16, Problem 44PE

(a) How much will a spring that has a force constant of 40.0 mm be stretched by an object with a mass of 0.500 kg when hung motionless from the spring? (b) Calculate the decrease in gravitational potential energy of the 0.500−kg object when it descends this distance. (c) Part of this gravitational energy goes into the spring. Calculate the energy stored in the spring by this stretch, and compete it with the gravitational potential energy. Explain where the rest of the energy might go.
