8.Mechanical Properties of Solids
medium
$K$ is the force constant of a spring. The work done in increasing its extension from ${l_1}$ to ${l_2}$ will be
A
$K({l_2} - {l_1})$
B
$\frac{K}{2}({l_2} + {l_1})$
C
$K(l_2^2 - l_1^2)$
D
$\frac{K}{2}(l_2^2 - l_1^2)$
Solution
(d) At extension ${l_1}$, the stored energy $ = \frac{1}{2}Kl_1^2$
At extension ${l_2}$, the stored energy$ = \frac{1}{2}Kl_2^2$
Work done in increasing its extension from ${l_1}$ to ${l_2}$
$ = \frac{1}{2}K(l_2^2 – l_1^2)$
