In the diagram, a \(2.0\ \text{kg}\) block rests on a horizontal surface. It is attached to a spring of force constant \(k = 150\ \text{N m}^{-1}\) fixed to a wall on its left. A constant horizontal pulling force of \(50\ \text{N}\) acts to the right on the block. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the block and the surface is \(0.15\). The block is pulled so that the spring is stretched by \(0.40\ \text{m}\) from its unstretched length. (i) Find the work done by the pulling force. (ii) Determine the increase in the block's kinetic energy after the displacement.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. Work by pull = 20 J; increase in kinetic energy ≈ 6.8 J
B. Work by pull = 30 J; increase in kinetic energy ≈ 8.5 J
C. Work by pull = 10 J; increase in kinetic energy ≈ 5.0 J
D. Work by pull = 25 J; increase in kinetic energy ≈ 12.0 J
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
Work by pull = 20 J; increase in kinetic energy ≈ 6.8 J
