A spring is compressed by tieing its ends together tightly. It is then placed in acid and dissolves. What happens to its stored potential energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

When the spring dissolves in acid, the elastic potential energy stored in the spring passes to the acid. The internal energy of the acid increases and hence its temp. rises.
