Question #206085

A spring with a spring constant of 5 N/m is compressed by a force of 1.2 Newtons a distance of 0.11m. What is the total elastic potential energy stored in the compressed spring?

Expert's answer

"PE_s=\\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2,""PE_s=\\dfrac{1}{2}\\cdot5\\ \\dfrac{N}{m}\\cdot(0.11\\ m)^2=0.03\\ J."
