The springs shown are identical. When A =4 kg , the elongation of spring is 1 cm . If B = 6kg , the elongation produced by it is

A

4 cm

B

3 cm

C

2 cm

D

1 cm

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`F=kx implies mg=kx implies m prop kx`
`(m_(1))/(m_(2))=(k_(1))/(k_(2)) xx (x_(1))/(x_(2)) implies (4)/(6)=(k)/(k//2)xx(1)/(x_(2))`
`implies x_(2)=3cm`.
