The length of a spring is α when a force of 4 N is applied on it the length is β when 5 N forces is applied then the length of spring when 9N force is applied is:
Correct answer: D. 9(β - α)
- A. 5β - 4α
- B. β - α
- C. 5α -4β
- D. 9(β - α)
Explanation
The relationship between the force applied on a spring and the resulting displacement can be described by Hooke's Law, which states that the force (F) exerted on a spring is directly proportional to the displacement (x) from its equilibrium position. Mathematically, this can be expressed as:F=−kxwhere k is the spring constant.In this case, the force (F) is related to the change in length (Δx) of the spring, and we can write:F=kΔxThe change in length (Δx) is given by β−α.The correct option is:9(β - α)

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
