A spring of spring constant $ 5 \times 10^3$ $ N/m$  is stretched initially by $5\,cm$ from the unstretched position. Then the work required to stretch it further by another $5\,cm$ is .............. $\mathrm{N-m}$

$W = \frac{1}{2}k(x_2^2 - x_1^2) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times {10^3}({10^2} - {5^2}) \times {10^{ - 4}}$
