Answer:
Work done, W = 0.0219 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Force constant of the spring, k = 290 N/m
Compression in the spring, x = 12.3 mm = 0.0123 m
We need to find the work done to compress a spring. The work done in this way is given by :
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 290\times (0.0123)^2[/tex]
W = 0.0219 J
So, the work done by the spring is 0.0219 joules. Hence, this is the required solution.
