                  The length of the chest-expander spring when it is unstretched, is 0.6 m and its stiffness is 10 N/mm  The work done in stretching it to 1 m will be:    

    A) 800 J               

    B) 1600 J            

    C) 3200 J              

    D) 6400 J          

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    \[\delta =1-0.6=0.4\,\,m\] Work done \[=\frac{1}{2}\,k\delta =\frac{1}{2}\times 10\times \frac{{{400}^{2}}}{{{10}^{3}}}=800\,J\]
