The potential energy of a certain spring when stretched through a distance 'S' is `10` joule. The amount of work (in joule) that must be done on this spring to stretch it through an additional distance 'S' will be

A

30

B

40

C

10

D

20

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
`(1)/(2)kS^(2)=10 J " "` (given in the problem)
`(1)/(2)k[(2S)^(2)-(S)^(2)]=3xx(1)/(2)kS^(2)=3xx10=30J`
