An ideal spring is fixed at one end. A variable force F pulls on the spring. When the magnitude of F reaches a value of 49.8 N, the spring is stretched by 18.1 cm from its equilibrium length. Calculate the additional work required by F to stretch the spring by an additional 10.9 cm from that position.

W = 7.06 J

Explanation:

From the given information the spring constant 'k' can be calculated using the Hooke's Law.

Now, using this spring constant the additional work required by F to stretch the spring can be found.

The work energy theorem tells us that the work done on the spring is equal to the change in the energy. Therefore,

a longitudinal wave moves energy that is to the direction of the wave’s movement. - true
