3. Suppose you have an object attached to a bizarre spring, initially located at x = 0, the equilibrium point of the force of the spring on the object is given by F₂ = kx, where k is a spring constant. (20 points) (a) You displace the object from x = 0 to ₁ > 0, holding the object steady at the beginning and end. What is the work done by the spring? What is the work done by you? (b) You let go of the spring and observe the object move from location ₁ to ₂. Is x₂ less than or greater than 7₁? (c) What is the kinetic energy of the object at 22? (d) Is this bizarre spring realistic? Explain.
