Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 3E

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For equilibrium \( kx=mg \)
\( U=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m^{2}g^{2}}{k} \)
\( U\propto\frac{m^{2}}{k} \)
\( \frac{U_{A}}{U_{B}}=(\frac{m_{A}}{m_{B}})^{2}\frac{k_{B}}{k_{A}}=(\frac{1}{2})^{2}(\frac{4}{3})=\frac{1}{3} \)
\( \frac{E}{U_{B}}=\frac{1}{3}\Rightarrow U_{B}=3E \)
