Problem
Three identical ideal springs are displaced from their equilibrium positions as follows:
• Spring P: compressed 3.0 cm
• Spring Q: stretched 5.0 cm
• Spring R: stretched 4.0 cm
Rank the springs from greatest to least stored elastic potential energy. Write your answer in the form P > Q > R, etc.
