If a spring is stretched by a force $T$,what is the potential energy stored in the spring? (Given $T$ is the tension/force and $k$ is the spring constant.)

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

As per the given figure,two blocks each of mass $250\,g$ are connected to a spring of spring constant $2\,N/m$. If both are given velocity $V$ in opposite directions,then the maximum elongation of the spring is:

An engine is attached to a wagon through a shock absorber of length $1.5 \, m$. The system with a total mass of $50,000 \, kg$ is moving with a speed of $36 \, km \, h^{-1}$ when the brakes are applied to bring it to rest. In the process of the system being brought to rest,the spring of the shock absorber gets compressed by $1.0 \, m$. If $90 \%$ of the energy of the wagon is lost due to friction,calculate the spring constant.
