Solve the Problem $\mathrm { d }$ , That a Spring Is Compressed from Its Natural, Uncompressed

question 248

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-The number of centimeters, $\mathrm { d }$ , that a spring is compressed from its natural, uncompressed position is given by the formula $\mathrm { d } = \sqrt { \frac { 2 \mathrm {~W} } { \mathrm { k } } }$ , where $\mathrm { W }$ is the number of joules of work done to move the spring and $\mathrm { k }$ is the spring constant. Solve this equation for W. Use the result to determine the work needed to move a spring 2 centimeters if it has a spring constant of $0.4$ .

• A) \(W = \frac { d ^ { 2 } k } { 2 } ; 0.8\) joules
• B) \(W = \frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } \mathrm { k } ^ { 2 } } { 4 } ; 0.2\) joules
• C) \(W = \frac { 2 \mathrm {~d} ^ { 2 } } { \mathrm { k } } ; 20\) joules
• D) \(W = 2 \mathrm {~d} ^ { 2 } \mathrm { k } ; 3.2\) joules
