    Is Kinetic Energy Derived from an Integral and Work Done?

    Hi all, I was doing an A-level Mechanics paper the other day and one of the quesitons was to show that, starting with Hookes law T=(lambda)(x)/(l), show that the energy stored in an elastic rope is (lambda)(e2)/(2l). This was ok, I just said that energy stored would be equal to the sum of the...
