Answer:
The amount of work done required to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is 64 J.
Explanation:
The energy used for stretching spring is given by the relation :
.......(1)
Here k is spring constant and x is the displacement of spring from its equilibrium position.
For stretch spring by 2.0 cm or 0.02 m, we need 8.0 J of energy. Hence, substitute the suitable values in equation (1).
k = 4 x 10⁴ N/m
Energy needed to stretch a spring by 6.0 cm can be determine by the equation (1).
Substitute 0.06 m for x and 4 x 10⁴ N/m for k in equation (1).
E = 72 J
But we already have 8.0 J. So, the extra energy needed to stretch spring by additional 4 cm is :
E = ( 72 - 8 ) J = 64 J
