Neither source is a renewable one.
To produce a single sugar molecule a plant must use a molecule of water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) and sunlight. To get 4 molecules, you simple use 4 molecules of water and 4 molecules of carbon dioxide.
No problem! :D
The equation for calculating the Work is very simple that is Work=Force x Displacement. We have a Force given as 209N and displacement = 10 meter.
Putting these values directly in the formula gives us Work = 209N x 10m
Work = 2090 Joule.
The weight of the bricks is not needed hear.
EPE= 0.5 * spring constant * (extension)^2
Spring constant=EPE/0.5*extension^2
5J/0.5*0.5^2
=40N/m
