1. The spring constant is k = 16 N/m.
(a) How much work is done when you compress the spring from its natural length of 1 m to a length
of 0.75 m? 0.5 N-m
(b) What is the work done in compressing the spring to a further 30 cm? 1.92 N-m
2. A force of 1200 N compresses a spring from its natural length of 18 cm to a length of 16 cm. How
much work is done in compressing it from 16 cm to 14 cm? 3600 N-cm
3. A leaky bucket weighing 5 N is lifted 20 m into the air at a constant speed. The rope weighs 0.08
N/m. The bucket starts with 2 N of water and it leaks at a constant rate. It finishes draining just
as it reaches the top. How much work was done
(a) lifting the water alone 30 N-m
(b) lifting the water and bucket together 120 N-m
(c) lifting the water, the bucket, and rope? 136 N-m
4. A water through is 10 ft long. The ends are isosceles triangles 3 feet wide and 3 feet deep. The
through is full of water. How much work is needed to pump all the water out to the top of the a
cylindrical container 10 ft high from the bottom of the through? 22,464 ft-lb
