Question 1151049: A spring has a spring constant of 10 N/m. It has stored 28 J of potential energy. How far was this spring stretched Answer by ikleyn(52778) (Show Source):
If "k" is the spring constant, then the potential energy stored is
P = ,
where "x" is the value of stretching, measured in meters.
In your case
28 = .
Hence,
= = 5.6 m^2
x = = 2.366 meters (approximately). ANSWER
