A) \[{{W}_{p}}={{W}_{Q}};{{W}_{p}}>{{W}_{Q}}\]
B) \[{{W}_{p}}={{W}_{Q}};{{W}_{p}}={{W}_{Q}}\]
C) \[{{W}_{p}}={{W}_{Q}};{{W}_{Q}}>{{W}_{p}}\]
D) \[{{W}_{p}}<{{W}_{Q}};{{W}_{Q}}<{{W}_{p}}\]
Correct Answer: C
Solution :
Case [a]: Springs are stretched by the same amount The work done by the springs \[W=\frac{1}{2}K{{x}^{2}}\] Hence\[W\propto K\] As \[{{K}_{p}}>{{K}_{Q}}\]it means \[{{W}_{p}}>{{W}_{Q}}\] Case [b]: Springs are stretched by the same force. \[F={{K}_{p}}{{X}_{p}}={{K}_{Q}}{{X}_{Q}}\] The work done by the springs \[W=\frac{1}{2}K{{x}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}K{{\left( \frac{F}{K} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{{{F}^{2}}}{K}\] Hence \[W\propto \frac{1}{K}\]it means \[{{W}_{Q}}>{{W}_{p}}\]You need to login to perform this action.
