In the above question, if equal forces are applied on two springs, then

A

(a) More work is done on Q

B

(b) More work is done on P

C

(c) Heir force constants will become equal

D

(d) Equal work is done on both the springs

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

Spring Q has lesser force constant that P. So Q will develop less restoring force than P. As a result, Q will suffer more extension. Since force is same in both the cases, more work will be done on Q.
