Homework Statement
L = Stretched distance
L0 = Unstretched distance
Homework Equations
W = 1/2kL2
The Attempt at a Solution
In attempting to help a friend with this problem, having taken this same physics class under a different professor, i was completely stumped by this problem. I know that Fx = kL, but i can't make any headway on figuring out the part of the problem that involves the transverse of the spring that leads to a distance pulled of xm with the same applied force that stretches the spring the same distance. Is there something easy that I'm missing?
