Work done by Diff type of forces

Question

The work done by external agent in stretching a spring of force constant k = 100 N/m from deformation x1 = 10 to deformation x2 = 20 cm.

Easy
Solution

U2 = 12kx22

U1 = 12kx21

Wext = U = U2-U1

        = 12kx22-12kx12 = 12k(x2 2-x12)

        = 12×100×((20100)2-(10100)2) =150 J

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.
