  • A

    The loss in potential energy of the load $W$ is equal to the gain in energy of the wire in stretching a length $x$

  • B

    The energy stored in the wire can be calculated from the area between the force extension graph and the extension axis

  • C

    The energy per unit volume stored in the wire $ = \frac{1}{2}Wx$

  • D

    None of the above
