Solution:
(a) The work done by the spring is given by
where k is the elastic constant of the spring and
is the stretch between the initial and final position. Since x1=-8 in=-0.203 m and x2=5 in=0.127 m, we have
(b) The work done by the weight is the product of the component of the weight parallel to the inclined plane and the displacement of the cart:
where the negative sign is given by the fact that
points in the opposite direction of the displacement of the cart, and where
therefore, the work done by the weight is
