The work done to stretch the spring will be 112 J.
The force required to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance is known as the spring force. Its formula is
F = kx
The given data in the problem is;
F is the spring force =?
K is the spring constant= 8.5 N/m
x is the length by which spring got stretched = 1.2m
The work is done to stretch the spring is;
[tex]\rm W= \frac{1}{2} kx^2 \\\\ W=\frac{1}{2} \times 350 \times (0.850-0.050)^2 \\\\ W=0.5 \times 350 \times (0.80)^2 \\\\W=112 \ J[/tex]
