SPRING FORCE CHAPTER

A. From previous exam: MII-182 Q4

A 10-kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is at-

tached to a light spring (spring constant, k = 1.2×103 N/m).
The block is initially at rest at its equilibrium position. Then
a force of magnitude P is applied to the block parallel to the
surface, as shown in the Figure below. When the block is
8.0×10–2 m from the equilibrium position, it has a speed of
0.80 m/s. How much work is done on the block by the force
P as the block moves the 8.0×10–2 m?
