The tension in the spring is

  1. A zero
  2. B \(10 \mathrm{~N}\)
  3. C \(2.5 \mathrm{~N}\)
  4. D \(5 \mathrm{~N}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10 \mathrm{~N}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Since, the spring is stretched by an equal force of \(5 \mathrm{~N}\) in opposite direction as shown in the figure. Thus, it will be stretched by an equal amount in both directions giving rise to a tension of \(5+5=10 \mathrm{~N}\).
