Two springs A and B are identical except...

Two springs A and B are identical except that A is stiffer than B i.e., `k_A gt k_B`. If the two springs are stretched by the same force, then

A

more work is done one B, i.e. `W_(B) gt W_(A)`

B

more work is done on A, i.e. `W_(A) gt W_(B)`

C

work done on A and B are equal

D

work done depends upon the way in which they ae stretched
