Answer

1.18×10−4 J\text{}1.18 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Convert the given displacements from millimeters to meters.

    The initial stretch x1x_1 caused by the force FF is 85 mm85 \text{ mm}.
    The target stretch x2x_2 for which work done is to be calculated is 1 mm1 \text{ mm}.
    We know that 1 mm=10−3 m1 \text{ mm} = 10^{-3} \text{ m}.

    x1=85 mm=85×10−3 m=0.085 mx_1 = 85 \text{ mm} = 85 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} = 0.085 \text{ m} x2=1 mm=1×10−3 m=0.001 mx_2 = 1 \text{ mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m} = 0.001 \text{ m}

    The applied force is F=20 NF = 20 \text{ N}.

  2. Calculate the spring constant (kk) using Hooke's Law.

    Hooke's Law states that the force FF required to stretch or compress a spring by a distance xx is given by F=kxF = kx, where kk is the spring constant.
    Using the given force F=20 NF = 20 \text{ N} and the corresponding stretch x1=0.085 mx_1 = 0.085 \text{ m}:

    k=Fx1k = \frac{F}{x_1} k=20 N0.085 mk = \frac{20 \text{ N}}{0.085 \text{ m}} k≈235.294 N/mk \approx 235.294 \text{ N/m}
  3. Calculate the work done (WW) to stretch the spring by 1 mm1 \text{ mm}.

    The work done to stretch a spring by a distance xx from its equilibrium position is given by the formula W=12kx2W = \frac{1}{2}kx^2.
    We need to find the work done for a stretch of x2=0.001 mx_2 = 0.001 \text{ m}.

    W=12kx22W = \frac{1}{2} k x_2^2 W=12(235.294 N/m)(0.001 m)2W = \frac{1}{2} (235.294 \text{ N/m}) (0.001 \text{ m})^2 W=12(235.294)(0.000001)W = \frac{1}{2} (235.294) (0.000001) W=117.647×0.000001W = 117.647 \times 0.000001 W=0.000117647 JW = 0.000117647 \text{ J}

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    W≈1.18×10−4 JW \approx 1.18 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J}

    The work done to stretch the spring by 1 mm1 \text{ mm} is 1.18×10−4 J\boxed{\text{}1.18 \times 10^{-4} \text{ J}}.
