Answer:

the work done by the linear spring will be equal to 23.04 k J

Explanation:

given,

k = 32 k N /m

deflected spring = 120 cm

                            = 1.2 m

work done by spring can be calculate as

                          = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2[/tex]

                          = [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}\times 32 \times 1.2^2[/tex]

                          = 23.04 k J

hence, the work done by the linear spring will be equal to 23.04 k J
