If a compressed spring is dissolved in acid, what happens to the elastic potential energy of the spring ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The compressed spring has energy stored in the form of elastic potential energy. If the spring dissolves, from the law of conservation of energy, its potential energy is converted into heat energy given to the liquid.
