Answer :

By using Hooke's Law, the work done is 400 joule.

We need to know about Hooke's Law to solve this problem. Hooke's Law describes the force applied to spring (elastic materials) will proportional to spring constant and displacement under the elastic condition. It can be described as

F = k . x

where F is force, k is spring constant and x is displacement.

The potential energy of spring can be determined as

PE = 1/2 . k . x²

where PE is potential energy

From the question above, we know that

PE1 = 100 J

x1 = 1 m

x2 = x1 + 1 m = 2 m

Potential energy is proportional to squared displacement, the ratio of PE can be written as

PE1 / PE2 = x1² / x2²

100 / PE2 = 1² / 2²

PE2 = 400 joule
