Answer :
The force in newtons needed to stretch the spring from its natural length to a length of 20 m is 104 N
As the metal spring expands and contracts, it deviates from its equilibrium position. The result is a restoring force that tends to push the spring back to its original position. This force is called spring force.
Given;
Natural length=10m
Work done to stretch from 10m to 11m =5.2J
so change in length (x)=1m
Work done on spring(W) = 1/2 *k *x^2
5.2 =1/2*k*1^2
so, k=10.4N/m
Spring is stretch to 20m so new x=10m
Force needed to stretch the spring = kx = 10.4 *10= 104 N
