Engineering Mechanics

  1. A stone with mass of 0.1 kg is catapulted as shown in the figure. The total force Fx (in N) exerted by the rubber band as a function of distance x (in m) is given by Fx = 300x2. If the store is displaced by 0.1 m from the un-stretched position (x = 0) of the rubber band, the energy stored in the rubber band is
    1. 0.01 J
    2. 0.1 J
    3. 1 J
    4. 10 J
Correct Option: B

Energy stored in the bar
= Work done by the stone

= 300 ×
x3
3

= 100 × 0.13
= 0.1J
