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 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

When the length of spring is halved, its spring constant will becomes double.     (because k∝1x∝1L∴k∝1L)Slope of force displacement graph gives the spring constant (k) of spring.If k becomes double then slope of the graph increases i.e. graph shifts towards force-axis.
