Spring Potential Energy

The potential energy is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position or the energy held by the object due to its position relative to other objects, its force like stresses, charge, and other factors affecting the particles of the body. The potential energy is the measure of the net work done by or on the body. The spring potential energy is the potential energy stored due to the deformation of an elastic spring and this elasticity is due to the stretched spring. The elasticity is the ability of a solid-state matter to come back to its equilibrium position or original position after any kind of external force is acted on it. It is also known as Elastic potential energy. The potential energy here is caused due to the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position to another position and this potential energy is equal to the net work done due to the stretching of the spring. It also resembles the same mechanics of the oscillation of a simple pendulum, where due to the external force, the object moves from its equilibrium position to its maximum ends and the periodic motion continues till it comes back to the equilibrium position to rest.

You decide to launch a rockof mass m1 using a tube containing a spring of spring constant k. When the spring is at equilibrium, it fills the entire tube. To launch a rock, you push it into the tube, compressing the spring a distance d, at which point a locking mechanism holds the spring(and the rock) in place. When the lockis released, the spring pushes the rock to the end of the tube where it will be launched into the air. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the rock and the inside surface of the tube is given by μk. You setup the launcher at an angle q above the horizontal with the spring end buried such that when the spring is compressed and locked, the rock is at ground level. a)Find the work done on the rock by non-conservative forces as it moves from the point of release to the end of the tube.
