Answer:
Spring potential energy = 7.875Nm
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Extension, e = 15cm to meters = 15/100 = 0.15m
Spring constant, k = 350n/m
To find the force;
Force = spring constant * extension
Force = 350 * 0.15
Force = 52.5 Newton.
Now to find the spring potential energy we would use the formula below;
Spring potential energy = force * extension
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Spring potential energy = 52.5 * 0.15
<em>Spring potential energy = 7.875Nm</em>
