When a weight is applied to a spring,it stretches by an amount $x$. What is the energy stored in it? ($T$ is the tension force developed in the spring and $k$ is the spring constant.)

  • A
    $\frac{T^2}{2k}$
  • B
    $\frac{T^2}{2k^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{2k}{T^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{2T^2}{k}$

Infinite springs with force constants $k$,$2k$,$4k$,$8k$,... respectively are connected in series. The effective force constant of the system will be:

The tension in the spring is ............ $N$.

$A$ spring has length $L$ and force constant $K$. It is cut into two springs of length $L_1$ and $L_2$ such that $L_1 = N L_2$ ($N$ is an integer). The force constant of the spring of length $L_1$ is:

The potential energy of a long spring when it is stretched by $3 \ cm$ is $U$. If the spring is stretched by $9 \ cm$,the potential energy stored in it will be: (in $U$)
