Elastic/Spring Potential Energy Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The extreme finite inputs k=10^308 N/m and x=10^154 m produce a mathematically finite value of 5×10^615 J but overflow ordinary JavaScript numeric arithmetic to Infinity.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.

{
  "inputs": {
    "k": 200,
    "k_unit": "N/m",
    "x": 0.15,
    "x_unit": "m"
  },
  "expected_outputs": {
    "U": 2.25,
    "U_unit": "J"
  },
  "working": "U = ½kx² = ½(200)(0.15²) = 100(0.0225) = 2.25 J"
}
