Consider a spring has a spring constant k1 = 580 N/m as the spring is stretched from x = 0 to x1 = 39 cm. The spring constant then changes to k2 = 280 N/m as the spring is stretched to x2 = 69 cm. From x2 = 69 cm to x3 = 84 cm the spring force is constant at F3 = 105 N. Q1: Calculate the work done, in joules, in stretching the spring from x1 to x2. Q2: Calculate the work, in joules, necessary to stretch the spring from x = 0 to x3.
