Question
For three situations, the initial and final positions respectively, along x-axis for the block in Fig are (a) - 3cm, 2cm. (b) 2cm, 3 cm and (c) -2cm, 2cm. In each situation, is the work done by the spring force on the block positive, negative or zero?

✓

Answer

  1. Since $\text{U}=\frac{1}{2}\text{k}\Big(\text{x}_2^2-\text{x}_2^1\Big),$ energy decreases, so work done by external force is negative. Therefore, work done by spring force is positive.

  2. Since, $\text{U}=\frac{1}{2}\text{k}\Big(\text{x}_2^2-\text{x}_1^2\Big)$ energy increases, so work done by external force is positive. Therefore, work done by spring force is negative.

  3. Since, $\text{U}=\frac{1}{2}\text{k}\Big(\text{x}_2^2-\text{x}_1^2\Big),$ there is no change in K.E., so work done is zero.

$\big[$Hint: Assume the atoms to be ‘tightly packed’ in a solid or liquid phase, and use the known value of Avogadro’s number. You should, however, not take the actual numbers you obtain for various atomic sizes too literally. Because of the crudeness of the tight packing approximation, the results only indicate that atomic sizes are in the range of a few $\mathring{\text{A}}\big].$
