$A$ long spring, when stretched by a distance $x$, has the potential energy $u$. On increasing the stretching to $nx$, the potential energy of the spring will be:

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

To simulate car accidents,auto manufacturers study the collisions of moving cars with mounted springs of different spring constants. Consider a typical simulation with a car of mass $1000 \; kg$ moving with a speed $18.0 \; km/h$ on a smooth road and colliding with a horizontally mounted spring of spring constant $6.25 \times 10^{3} \; N m^{-1}$. What is the maximum compression of the spring in $m$?

Two springs have spring constants $k_{A}$ and $k_{B}$ such that $k_{A} > k_{B}$. If both springs are stretched by the same extension $x$,the work required will be:
