A wire obeys Hooks law is of length 11 when it is in equilibrium under a tension F1. Its length becomes 12 when the tension is increased to F2. The energy stored in the wire during this process is____________________?
A(F1+F2) (122-112)
B(F1+F2) (121+122)
C(F1+F2) (12-11)
D(F1+F2) (12-11)
Correct answer
C. (F1+F2) (12-11)
Explanation
(F1+F2) (12-11) is the correct answer. Review the question and compare it with the other choices to remember this fact for future exams.
