Two springs have their force constants `k_(1)` and `k_(2) (k_(1) gt k_(2))`. Determine the spring on which more work is done when (i) their length are increased by the same amount, and (ii) they are stretched by the same force.

Verified by Experts

(a) `W_(A)=1/2 k_(A)x^(2) " " :.k_(A) gt k_(B)`
`W_(B)=1/2 k_(B)x^(2) " " :.W_(A) gt W_(B)`
(b) `F=k_(A)x_(A)=k_(B)x_(B),W_(A)=1/2k_(A)((F)/(k_(A)))^(2)=(F^(2))/(2k_(A))`
Similarly `W_(B)=(F^(2))/(2k_(B)):. W_(B) gtW_(A)`
