A vertical spring supports a beaker containing some water in it. Water slowly evaporates and the compression in the spring decreases. Where does the elastic potential energy stored in the spring go?

Answer» Correct Answer - When a small amount of water evaporates, the spring relaxes a little bit. Water remaining in the beaker gains gravitational potential energy. Therefore, the spring energy gets converted into the gravitational potential energy of beaker + water.
