A straight line has the same gradient all along its length. The gradient equals vertical rise over horizontal distance. It does not matter which triangle you use.
For large triangle it equals 2/8 or 1/4 for smaller one. Both equal 1/4 (last statement)
The work done (in foot-pounds) in stretching the spring from its natural length to 0.7 feet beyond its natural length is 1.23 foot-pound
<h3>Data obtained from the question</h3>
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
- Force (F) = 3 pounds
- Extension (e) = 0.6 feet
- Work done (Wd) =?
<h3>How to determine the spring constant</h3>
- Force (F) = 3 pounds
- Extension (e) = 0.6 feet
- Spring constant (K) =?
F = Ke
Divide both sides by e
K = F/ e
K = 3 / 0.6
K = 5 pound/foot
Thus, the spring constant of the spring is 5 pound/foot
<h3>How to determine the work done</h3>
- Spring constant (K) = 5 pound/foot
- Extention (e) = 0.7 feet
- Work done (Wd) =?
Wd = ½Ke²
Wd = ½ × 5 × 0.7²
Wd = 2.5 × 0.49
Wd = 1.23 foot-pound
Therefore, the work done in stretching the spring 0.7 feet is 1.23 foot-pound
