Work done by Diff type of forces
Question

The work done by external agent in stretching a spring of force constant k = 100 N/m from deformation x1 = 10 to deformation x2 = 20 cm.

Easy
Solution

U2 = 12kx22

U1 = 12kx21

Wext = U = U2-U1

        = 12kx22-12kx12 = 12k(x2 2-x12)

        = 12×100×((20100)2-(10100)2) =150 J
