A spring is stretched by applying a load to its free end. The strain produced in the spring is ......

A

volumetric

B

shear

C

longitudinal and shear

D

longitudinal

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C


When a spring is stretched by a load its shape and length changes.
The change in length corresponds to longitudinal strain and change in shape of spring corresponds to shearing strain.

A particle of mass m is attached to one end of a mass-less spring of force constant k, lying on a frictionless horizontal plane. The other end of the spring is fixed. The particle starts moving horizontally from its equilibrium position at time t=0 with an initial velocity u_0 . when the speed of the particle is 0.5u_0 , it collides elastically with a rigid wall. After this collision

The mass in the figure can slide on a frictionless surface. When the mass is pulled out, spring 1 is stretched a distance x_(1) and spring 2 is stretched a distance x_(2). The spring constants are k_(1) and k_(2) respectively. Magnitude of spring force pulling back on the mass is
