A spring when stretched up to 2 cm has potential energy U. If it is stretched up to 10 cm, potential energy would be

a
U /25
b
U/5
c
5 U
d
25U

detailed solution

Correct option is D

The potential energy Up of spring is given by  Up=12kx2  In first case,  U=12k(2)2=2k  or  k=U/2  In second case, Up=12k(10)2=12×U2×(10)2=25U
