Questions  

Two springs of spring constants 1500 N/m and 3000 N/m respectively are stretched with the same force. They will have potential energy in the ratio

a
4:1
b
1:4
c
2:1
d
1:2

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Potential energy PE=12kx2        Restoring Force of spring F=-Kx         displacement                    ⇒x=FK Substitute x value in PE,                           PE=12KFK2 PE=12KF2K2 PE=12F2/K PE1PE2=K2K1 =3000/1500 PE1:PE2=2:1
