The spring extends by x on loading, then energy stored by the spring is If (If T is the tension in spring and ft is spring constant)
T2/2k
T2/2k2
2k/T2
2T2/k
Energy stored in the spring,
U=12kx2 where k is spring constant According to Hooke's law, T=k× ∴ x=(T/k) From eqs. (1) and (2), we 8et U=12T2k
