Two springs have their force constants as $k_1$ and $k_2$ $(k_1 > k_2)$. When they are stretched by the same force $F$,which of the following statements is true regarding the work done?

  • A
    No work is done in case of both the springs.
  • B
    Equal work is done in case of both the springs.
  • C
    More work is done in case of the second spring.
  • D
    More work is done in case of the first spring.

$A$ 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:

$A$ block of mass $m=25 \ kg$ sliding on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity $v=3 \ ms^{-1}$ meets a spring of spring constant $k=100 \ N/m$ fixed at one end as shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring and the velocity of the block as it returns to the original position are, respectively:

One end of a spring of spring constant $80 \ Nm^{-1}$ and unstretched length of $30 \ cm$ is fixed at point $A$ and the other end of the spring is fitted with a smooth ring of mass $300 \ g$ as shown in the figure. The ring is allowed to slide on a horizontal rod fixed at a height of $40 \ cm$. Initially the spring makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical and the system of spring and ring is released from rest. The speed of the ring when the spring becomes vertical is . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$.

$A$ block of mass $M$ moving on a frictionless horizontal surface collides with a spring of spring constant $K$, as shown in the figure. If the spring compresses by a length $L$, then the maximum momentum of the block is:

If a spring extends by $x$ on loading,then the energy stored in the spring is (where $T$ is the tension in the spring and $K$ is the spring constant):
