13.Oscillations
easy
If a spring extends by $x$ on loading, then energy stored by the spring is (if $T$ is the tension in the spring and $K$ is the spring constant)
A
$\frac{{{T^2}}}{{2x}}$
B
$\frac{{{T^2}}}{{2K}}$
C
$\frac{{2K}}{{{T^2}}}$
D
$\frac{{2{T^2}}}{K}$
Solution
(b) $U = \frac{1}{2}K{x^2}$ but $T = Kx$
So energy stored $ = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{{(Kx)}^2}}}{K} = \frac{1}{2}\frac{{{T^2}}}{K}$
