$A$ spring of original length $L$ and spring constant $K$ is stretched by a small length $x$. It is further stretched by another small length $y$. Find the work done in the second stretching.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{2}Ky^2$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2}K(x^2 + y^2)$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}K(x + y)^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}Ky(2x + y)$

$A$ block $B$ is attached to two unstretched springs $S1$ and $S2$ with spring constants $k$ and $4k$,respectively (see figure $I$). The other ends are attached to identical supports $M1$ and $M2$ which are not attached to the walls. The springs and supports have negligible mass. There is no friction anywhere. The block $B$ is displaced towards wall $1$ by a small distance $x$ (figure $II$) and released. The block returns and moves a maximum distance $y$ towards wall $2$. Displacements $x$ and $y$ are measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the block $B$. The ratio $\frac{y}{x}$ is:
