Question
A slingshot consists of a light leather cup containing a stone. The cup is pulled back against two parallel rubber bands. It takes a force of 15.0 N to stretch either one of these bands 1.00 cm. (a) What is the potential energy stored in the two bands together when a 50.0- g stone is placed in the cup and pulled back 0.200 m from the equilibrium position? (b) With what speed does the stone leave the slingshot?

The spring is initially at its equilibrium position and the block is at rest. Nadia then comes along and pulls the block horizontally and stretches the spring out. When she stretches the spring out by 32 cm, she holds the block there at rest. How much work (J) did she do on the block from when she first started pulling? Give answer out to second place past the right of the decimal. No units %3! !! necessary.
