Question
The force required to compress a non-standard spring as a function of displacement is given by the equation
F(x) = -Asin(bx) + kx,
where A = 25 N, b = 11 rad/m, and k = 68 N/m.
Enter a general equation in terms of the given variables for the work required to compress this spring from position x1 to x2.
Calculate the work done in joules as the spring is compressed from x = 0 to x1 = 21 cm.

- 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.arrow_forwardSQU is trying a new particle accelerator design with a mechanical component using a spring that does not obey Hooke's law.
