This question has Statement $-1$ and Statement $-2$. Of the four choices given after the statements,choose the one that best describes the two statements.
If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$,respectively,are stretched by the same force,it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.
Statement $-1$: If stretched by the same amount,work done on $S_1$ will be more than that on $S_2$.
Statement $-2$: $k_1 < k_2$.

$A$ spring with force constant $k$ is initially stretched by a distance $x$. If it is further stretched by a distance $y$,the work done during the second stretching is.........

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 . . . . . . $ms^{-1}$.
