$A$ spring of length $l$ has a force constant $k$. When a weight $W$ is attached to it,the extension produced is $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and these parts are connected in parallel to support the same weight $W$,what will be the new extension?

Two springs of force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ are loaded with weights $W_1$ and $W_2$ respectively. Assume that the length of each spring is increased by the same amount. If $K_1 = 2 K_2$, then the ratio $\frac{W_2}{W_1}$ is

Two springs $A$ and $B$ having spring constants $K_{A}$ and $K_{B}$ $(K_{A} = 2 K_{B})$ are stretched by applying forces of equal magnitude. If the energy stored in spring $A$ is $E_{A}$,then the energy stored in spring $B$ will be:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is suspended from an ideal spring of force constant $k$. The expected change in the position of the body due to an additional force $F$ acting vertically downwards is

Fill in the blank: The force constant of a spring is $0.5 \, Nm^{-1}$. The force necessary to increase the length of the spring by $10 \, cm$ will be .......... (in $, N$)
