- The spring-flex exercise system consists of a spring with one end fixed and a handle on the other end. The idea is that you exercise your muscles by stretching the spring from its natural length, which is 38 cm. If a 170 Newton force is required to keep the spring stretched to a length of 52 cm, how much work is required to stretch it from 51 cm to 70 cm? Your answer must include the correct units. Work =arrow_forwardYou pick up a barbell with weights (total mass: 100.0 kg) from the ground to approximately 0.800 m above the ground (roughly equivalent to doing a deadlift). Once it has been lifted, you then carry it 10.0 m at a steady speed before stopping and finally gently lowering the barbell back to the ground. How much work have you done on this barbell in J?arrow_forwardA 1.3Kg particle moves from an initial position r1=2i-1j+2k m to a final position r2=6i-4j-4k m while a force F=4i-5j+4k N acts on it.
