Questions  

The force required to stretch a spring varies with the distance as shown in the figure . If the experiment is performed with the above spring of half the length, the line OA will 

 

a
shift towards F -axis
b
shift towards X-axis
c
remain as it is
d
become double in length

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Spring constant,  k=Fx= slope of F-x graph. k∝1l                        (∵x≃0)Length is reduced to half. Therefore, k will become two times. Slope will increase. Hence, the line OA will shifttowards F-axis.

Similar Questions

Two similar springs P and Q have spring constants Kp and KQ such that Kp > KQ. They are stretched first by the same amount (case a), then by the same force (case b). The work done by the springs WP and WQ are related as, in case (a) and case (b), respectively.
