Question

A massless spring gets elongated by amount $x_{1}$ under a tension of 5 N . Its elongation is $x_{2}$ under the tension of 7 N . For the elongation of $(5 x_{1} - 2 x_{2})$ , the tension in the spring will be,

Options:

Answer:

C

Solution:

$kx_{1} = 5 N kx_{2} = 7 N k (5 x_{1} - 2 x_{2}) = 5 kx_{1} - 2 kx_{2} = 5 \times 5 - 2 \times 7 = 11 N$
