A 2.8-kg block is attached to a spring with a force constant of 375 N/m, as shown
Question:
A 2.8-kg block is attached to a spring with a force constant of 375 N/m, as shown in FIGURE 8-26.
(a) Find the work done by the spring on the block as the block moves from A to B along paths 1 and 2.
(b) How do your results depend on the mass of the block? Specifically, if you increase the mass, does the work done by the spring increase, decrease, or stay the same? (Assume the system is frictionless.)

In Physics, a force is an influence that can change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity. In this video, the concept of force and torque is demonstrated with the practical application of changing the flat tire of the car.
