Question
The force required to compress a non-standard spring varies as the spring is compressed, as shown by the plot of force vs displacement. Distances are x1 = 10, x2 = 25 cm, x3 = 55 cm, and x4=75cm, and the forces are F1 = 110 N and F2 = -60N. Calculate the work done in Joules, on the spring as it is compressed from origin to point x4.
