    ...We haven't gone over potential energy yet; so I'm a bit clueless on what you just said there. Sorry about that.

    Thanks! Could you tell me why, exactly, I would be solving for the change in work? I know you mentioned this: But how do I know that I'm not supposed to do what I did? Additionally, how do you solve for the change in work? (I know that ΔW is Wfinal - Winitial, but what x's make up those...

    I am sorry if I am doing anything wrong. I'm new to this site and physics in general. Please feel free to correct me if I'm making some stupid mistake in formatting. 1. The first figure gives spring force Fx versus position x for the spring–block arrangement of the second figure. The scale...
