1.

A body of mass `m` issuspended from a massless spring of natural length `l` It stretches the spring through a verticle distance `y`.The potential energy of the stretched spring isA. `mg(l +y)`B. `(1)/(2)mg(l +y)`C. `(1)/(2)mg y`D. `Mgy`

Answer» Correct Answer - C
`ky = mg or k = (mg)/(y)`
`U = (1)/(2)((mg)/(y))y^(2) = (1)/(2)mg y`
