A system consists of two springs connected in series and each having the spring constant \(10 \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}\). The minimum work required to stretch this system by \(\mathrm{l} \mathrm{cm}\) in erg is

  1. A \(1500\)
  2. B \(2000\)
  3. C \(3000\)
  4. D \(2500\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(2500\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For series combination, effective force constant is given by \(\frac{1}{K_{\text {eff }}}=\frac{1}{K_1}+\frac{1}{K_2}\) Here, \(\quad K_1=K_2=10 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{1}{K_{\text {eff }}}=\frac{1}{10}+\frac{1}{10}=\frac{1}{5}\) or…
