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 ......... $J$ $(g = 9.8\, m/s^2)$.

  • A
    $4.90$
  • B
    $2.45$
  • C
    $0.495$
  • D
    $0.245$
