What is the potential energy in the spring

Reference no: EM13697067

Solve the all parts of following question:

Question: An 8.00 kg baby is bouncing in her baby bouncer (a seat attached to a spring that hangs from the ceiling). The spring is stretched 10.0 cm from the equilibrium point by the baby. Assume an ideal spring.

Part A: What is the spring constant?

Part B: The baby is pushed down an additional 2 cm and released. What is the potential energy in the spring just before that release?

Please provide detailed explanations to find spring constant.
