Create a Force vs. Displacement (stretch distances) graph. Construct your graph on a computer program such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. 2. Using the result of Analysis Question 1, calculate the work done by the spring. Show your work 3. The work done by the spring can be broken down by the work done by each 5 cm stretch. Fill in the rest of Table 1 to calculate the average force applied by the spring over each 5 cm stretch 4. Calculate the work done in each segment and determine the total work done by adding all of the segments together. How does this compare to the work done by the spring calculated in Analysis Question 2?
