Answer:

The correct answer is "1.2 J".

Explanation:

Seems that the given question is incomplete. Find the attachment of the complete query.

According to the question,

  • x₁ = -0.20 m
  • x₂ = 0 m
  • k = 60 N/m

Now,

⇒ [tex]W=\int_{x_1}^{x_2}F \ dx[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=\int_{x_1}^{x_2}-kx \ dx[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=-k \int_{-0.20}^{0}x \ dx[/tex]

By putting the values, we get

⇒      [tex]=-(60)[\frac{x^2}{2} ]^0_{-0.20}[/tex]

⇒      [tex]=-60[\frac{0}{2}-\frac{0.04}{2} ][/tex]

⇒      [tex]=1.2 \ J[/tex]
