Answer:0.253Joules
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the force required to stretch the string. According to Hooke's law, the force applied to an elastic material or string is directly proportional to its extension.
F = ke where;
F is the force
k is spring constant = 34N/m
e is the extension = 0.12m
F = 34× 0.12 = 4.08N
To get work done,
Work is said to be done if the force applied to an object cause the body to move a distance from its initial position.
Work done = Force × Distance
Since F = 4.08m, distance = 0.062m
Work done = 4.08 × 0.062
Work done = 0.253Joules
Therefore, work done to stretch the string to an additional 0.062 m distance is 0.253Joules
