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$

The one division of main scale of vernier callipers reads $1\,mm$ and $10$ divisions of Vernier scale is equal to the $9$ divisions on main scale. When the two jaws of the instrument touch each other the $zero$ of the Vernier lies to the right of $zero$ of the main scale and its fourth division coincides with a main scale division. When a spherical bob is tightly placed between the two jaws, the $zero$ of the Vernier scale lies in between $4.1\,cm$ and $4.2\,cm$ and $6^{\text {th }}$ Vernier division coincides with a main scale division. The diameter of the bob will be $.............10^{-2}\,cm$
