The force constants of two springs are $K_1$ and $K_2$. Both are stretched until their elastic potential energies are equal. If the stretching forces applied are $F_1$ and $F_2$,then the ratio $F_1:F_2$ is:

  • A
    $K_1:K_2$
  • B
    $K_2:K_1$
  • C
    $\sqrt{K_1}:\sqrt{K_2}$
  • D
    $K_1^2:K_2^2$
