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.

The magnitude of the work is
`1/2 kx^2=1/2xx(50N/m)xx(1cx)^2`
`=(25N/m)xx(1xx10^-2)^2=2.5xx10^-3J`
As the compressed spring will push the agency, the force will be opposite to the displacement of the point of application and the work will be negative. Thus, the work done by the spring force is -2.5mJ.
