Work Done By Spring Forces

In the previous illustration. Consider the situation when the string is completely compressed. Then it begins to relax and will come to its original length. a. What is the work done by the spring during the period? b. Is the work done by the spring positive or negative?

A spring of spring constasnt 50 N/m is compressed from its natural position through 1 cm. Find the work done by the work done by the spring force on the agency compressing the spring.

Two equal masses are attached to the two ends of a spring of spring constant k. The masses are pulled out symmetrically to stretch the spring by a length x over its natural length. The work done by the spring on each mass is

Two equal masses are attached to the two ends of a spring of spring constant k . The masses are pulled a part symmetrically to stretch the spring by a length x over its natural length. The work done by the spring on each mass is.

A spring of spring constant k is stretched by distance r. Obtain formula for elastic potential energy of a stretched spring. Plot graph of energies versus distance.

Assertion :- When a spring is elongated work done by spring is negative but when it compressed work done by spring is positive. Reason :- Work done by spring is path dependent
