Answer:

The work done in stretching the spring is 8 lb.ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Applied force, F = 192 lb

extension of the spring, x = 3 ft

Determine the spring constant from the applied force and extension;

k = \frac{F}{x} \\\\k = \frac{192 \ lb}{3 \ ft} \\\\k = 64 \ lb/ft

When the spring is stretched 6 inches beyond its natural length, the work done is calculated as follows;

x = 6 inches = 0.5 ft

W = \frac{1}{2} kx^2\\\\W =  \frac{1}{2} (64 \ lb/ft)(0.5 \ ft)^2\\\\W = 8 \ lb.ft

Therefore, the work done in stretching the spring is 8 lb.ft

1. Round 50.75 to 50 and 0.18 to 0.20.
50 x 0.2 = 10

2) Round 96 to 100 and 0.499 to 0.5
100 divided by 0.5 = 50

3a) Round 8.2 to 8, 6.7 to 7, and 0.46 to 0.50
8 x 7 divided by 0.50 = 112

3b) Round 23.4 to 20, 13.9 to 10, and 0.18 to 0.20
20 x 10 divided by 0.20 = 2,000
