To determine the work done to compress the spring an additional 3 inches, we can utilize the formula for the elastic potential energy of a spring: U = 1/2 * k * x^2 where: U is the elastic potential energy (in inch-pounds) k is the spring constant (in pounds per inch) x is the compression or extension of the spring (in inches) We know that a force of 750 pounds compresses the spring 3 inches, so we can deduce the spring constant: 750 pounds = k * 3 inches k = 250 pounds per inch Now, let's calculate the work done to compress the spring an additional 3 inches (from 3 inches to 6 inches): U = 1/2 * 250 pounds per inch * (3 inches)^2 U = 1125 inch-pounds Therefore, the work done to compress the spring an additional 3 inches is 1125 inch-pounds.

A construction company is working on two projects: house construction and building construction. Each house requires 4 weeks of work and produces a profit of $50,000. Each building requires 8 weeks of work and produces a profit of $100,000. The company has a total of 24 work weeks available. Furthermore, it is known that at least 2 houses and at least 1 building must be built to meet the demand. The company wants to maximize its profits and needs to determine how many houses and buildings it should build to meet demand and maximize profits, given time and demand constraints.
