A ball of mass $4\, kg$, moving with a velocity of $10\, ms ^{-1}$, collides with a spring of length $8\, m$ and force constant $100\, Nm ^{-1}$. The length of the compressed spring is $x\, m$. The value of $x$, to the nearest integer, is ........ .

Two springs of spring constants $1500\, N/m$ and $3000\, N/m$ respectively are stretched with the same force. They will have potential energy in the ratio

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2$. Of the four choices given after the Statements, choose the one that best describes the two Statements.

If two springs $S_1$ and $S_2$ of force constants $k_1$ and $k_2$, respectively, are stretched by the same force, it is found that more work is done on spring $S_1$ than on spring $S_2$.
STATEMENT 1 : If stretched by the same amount work
done on $S_1$, Work done on $S_1$ is more than $S_2$
STATEMENT2: $k_1 < k_2$

Two springs $A$ and $B$ having spring constant $K_{A}$ and $K_{B}\left(K_{A}=2 K_{B}\right)$ are stretched by applying force of equal magnitude. If energy stored in spring $A$ is $E_{A}$ then energy stored in $B$ will be

The work done in joules in increasing the extension of a spring of stiffness $10\, N/cm$ from $4\, cm$ to $6\, cm$ is:

Define spring constant and write its unit.
