Answer: Work can be calculated with the equation: Work = Force × Distance. The SI unit for work is the joule (J), or Newton • meter (N • m). One joule equals the amount of work that is done when 1 N of force moves an object over a distance of 1 m.
Explanation:
Elastic potential energy stored in a spring is
(1/2) · (spring constant) · (stretch or compress)² .
PE = (1/2) · (100 N/m) · (0.1 m)²
PE = (50 N/m) · (0.01 m²)
PE = (50 · 0.01) (N · m / m²)
PE = 0.5 N · m
PE = 0.5 Joule
Usually, it increases the solubility in water.
