How much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon

Reference no: EM13337419

During spring semester at MIT, residents of the parallel buildings of the East Campus dorms battle one another with large catapults that are made with surgical hose mounted on a window frame. A balloon filled with dyed water is placed in a pouch attached to the hose, which is then stretched through the width of the room. Assume that the stretching of the hose obeys Hooke's law with a spring constant of 53.0 N/m. If the hose is stretched by 3.10 m and then released, how much work does the force from the hose do on the balloon in the pouch by the time the hose reaches its relaxed length?
