    $U/4$
  • B
    $4U$

The potential energy of a certain spring when stretched through a distance $S$ is $10 \, J$. The amount of work (in $J$) that must be done on this spring to stretch it through an additional distance $S$ will be

$A$ 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:

The force constants of two springs are $K_1$ and $K_2$. Both are stretched until their elastic potential energies are equal. If the stretching forces applied are $F_1$ and $F_2$,then the ratio $F_1:F_2$ is:

$A$ block of mass $m$ moving with speed $v$ compresses a spring through distance $x$ before its speed is halved. What is the value of the spring constant $k$?
