MCQ

When a $4\, kg$ mass is hung vertically on a light spring that obeys Hooke's law, the spring stretches by $2\, cms$. The work required to be done by an external agent in stretching this spring by $5\, cms$ will be ......... $joule$ $(g = 9.8\,metres/se{c^2})$

A
$4.90$
✓
$2.45$
C
$0.495$
D
$0.245$

✓

Answer

Correct option: B.

$2.45$

b
(b) $K = \frac{F}{x}$$ = \frac{{40}}{{2 \times {{10}^{ - 2}}}} = 0.2\;N/m$

Work done$ = \frac{1}{2}K{x^2} = \frac{1}{2} \times (0.2) \times {(0.05)^2} = 2.5\;J$
