Does the negative of potential energy = work done by simple harmonic springs?
I have two different things written down in my notes:
1.
Work = - delta Potential enrgy
so Work = -1/2 (k)x^2
but then i also have written down
2. Since Work = F*d
Work for springs experiencing SHM should be
W = F restoring * delta(x) ~~~~~ > Work = -k(x) * delta (x)
Can someone please let me know what the equation for work is in regards to springs experiencing simple harmonic motion
