A spring workout can be modeled by Hooke's law F = kx where k is force constant. When the spring is fully stretched, its length is increased from 0.6m to 1.1 m and the force applied is 600 N. How much is the work done by your pull?

A box with with a mass m = 2kg is being pushed up a ramp by an unknown pushing force Fp. The coefficient of static friction between the box and interface is 0.7. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the box and interface is 0.6. The incline of the ramp is 15 degrees. The velocity of the box is constant. The surface of the ramp is 12 m. What is the work done by normal force while the box is being pushed the entire length of the ramp? [ I think that it is 0 N, since the x component of normal force which is parallel to motion is 0. Is that correct?]
A cart is pulled a distance D on a flat, horizontal surface by a constant force F that acts at an angle θ with the horizontal direction. The other forces on the object during this time are gravity ( Fw ), normal forces ( FN1 ) and ( FN2 ), and rolling frictions Fr1 and Fr2 , as shown below. What is the work done by each force?

A block of mass m = 3.1 kg is placed on a rough incline surface making an angle e = 13.5. with horizontal. A force F parallel to the ground is applied to the block.

A 10 kg barbell is rolling down a hill. There is no friction or air resistance acting on it, only the force of gravity. If it starts out moving 2 ms1, and ends up moving 7 ms1, then how much work does gravity do on it?
A 287-kg crate is being pushed across a horizontal floor by a force P that makes an angle of 17.1 ° below the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction is 0.253. What should be the magnitude of P, so that the net work done by it and the kinetic frictional force is zero? Number M. Units
In the arrangement of the first figure, we gradually pull the block from x = 0 to x = +3.0 cm, where it is stationary. The second figure gives the work that our force does on the block. The scale of the figure's vertical axis is set by Ws = 1.0 J. We then pull the block out to x = +6.0 cm and release it from rest. How much work does the spring do on the block when the block moves from xi = +6.0 cm to (a) x = +4.0 cm, (b) x = -1.0 cm, and (c) x = -6.0 cm?
We know that the work (W) done by a force vector F applied to an object over a displacement ?x is given byW = F(cos?) ?x,where F is the magnitude of the force, and ? is the angle between the applied force and the direction of the displacement. This expression assumes that the force is constant over the displacement ?x. If F is not constant, it can be shown that the work done is equal to the area under the curve force versus position.Based on what above said, calculate the work done by the force versus position represented in each graph (a), (b), and (c) in the figure below.
