To determine the displacement, since we are given the potential energy, we use the equation for potential energy. For a spring, it is one-half the product of the spring constant and the square of the displacement. We do as follows:
PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m
Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
PE = kx^2/2
5 Nm = 50N/m (x^2)
x = 0.32 m
Therefore, the displacement would be 0.32 m.
