5 Questions
What is the formula for work done, as per the text?
$W = F \cdot S$
In the context of work done, if an object undergoes a displacement 'S' while acted on by a force F making an angle θ with S, what is the work done W by the agent?
$W = F \cdot S \cdot \cos(\theta)$
According to the text, how can the work done be obtained when a graph is plotted between force applied and displacement?
By finding the area under the F-S graph
For a spring stretched or compressed by a small distance from its unstretched configuration, the force exerted by the spring is given by F = -kx. What does 'k' represent in this equation?
Spring constant
In the equation F = -kx, what does the negative sign indicate?
The force exerted by the spring is in the opposite direction of the displacement
