Answer:

M.E = 0.241 Joules.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Spring constant, k = 33.5 N/m

Extension, e = 0.12m

Mass = 1.20kg

To find the mechanical energy (M.E);

Mathematically, mechanical energy is given by this formula;

M.E = ½ke²

Where;

  • k is the constant of elasticity (spring constant).
  • e is the extension of the string.  

Substituting into the equation, we have;

M.E = ½*33.5*0.12²

M.E = ½*33.5*0.0144

M.E = 0.4824/2

M.E = 0.241 Joules.
