A spring with a stiffness of 103 N / m is stretched by 4 cm. What is the potential energy of elastic deformation of the spring?

Initial data: k (spring rate) = 103 N / m; Δl (amount of tension of the spring) = 4 cm.

SI system: Δl = 4 cm = 0.04 m.

The potential energy of elastic deformation of a spring with given parameters is determined by the formula: En = k * Δl ^ 2/2.

Let’s perform the calculation: Ep = 103 * 0.04 ^ 2/2 = 0.8 J.

Answer: The potential energy of elastic deformation of the spring is 0.8 J.
