Here, you can calculate it's potential energy with respect to ground. We know, U = mgh Here, m = 75 Kg g = 9.8 m/s² [ constant value for earth system ] h = 300 m
Substitute their values into the expression: U = 75 × 9.8 × 300 U = 220500 J
Approximately (assuming that this spring is ideal.)
Explanation:
The displacement of a spring is the new length of the spring relative to the original length.
For example:
When the -spring in this question is stretched to , the displacement is .
Likewise, if this spring is stretched to , the displacement would be .
If this spring is ideal, the force on the spring would be proportional to the displacement of the spring. In other words, if a force of displaces this spring by , while a force of displaces this spring by , then:
.
In this question, it is given that a force of would stretch this spring by . Thus, the force required to stretch this spring by would satisfy:
