Correct answer: 5
- Use Hooke’s law for the spring
For an elastic spring, length varies linearly with tension:
where:
- = प्राकृतिक length of the spring,
- = tension,
- = spring constant.
So let the length under tension be written as:
where and .
- Form equations from given data
When tension is , length is :
When tension is , length is :
Subtracting,
Also,
- Find the length corresponding to
Compute:
But length formula is:
Comparing with ,
- Final answer
The required tension is
- Comparison with stored correct answer
Stored correct answer =
My derived answer =
So they agree.
