A force of 2N will stretch a rubber band 0.02m. Assuming that Hooke's Law applies, answer the following: How far will a 1600N force stretch the rubber band? How much work does it take to stretch the rubber band this far?

    Hooke's Law states that the extension is directly proportional to the force applied so:

    F/x = constant

    F₁/x₁ = F₂/x₂

    2 / 0.02 = 1600 / x₂

    x₂ = 16 m

    Elastic work = 1/2 Fx

    = 1/2 * 1600 * 16

    = 12.8 kJ
