An ideal spring of negligible mass is 11.00cm long when nothing is attached to it. When you hang a 3.05-kg weight from it, you measure its length to be 12.40cm . If you wanted to store 10.0J of potential energy in this spring, what would be its total length? Assume that it continues to obey Hooke's law.

Answer

0.2067m or 0.2067m

Explanation;

Let lenght of spring= Lo= 11cm=0.110m

It is hang from a mass of

3.05-kg having a length of L1= 12.40cm= 0.124m

Force required to stretch the spring= Fkx

But weight of mass mg= kx then K= Mg/x

K= 3.05-kg× 9.8)/(0.124m-.110m)

K=2135N

But potential Energy U= 0.5Kx

X=√ 2U/k

√(2*10)/2135

X=0.0967m

The required new length= L2= L0 ±x

=

.110m ± 0.0967m

X= 0.2067m or 0.2067m hence the total lenghth
