When a block of mass M is suspended by a long wire of length L , the length of the wire becomes L + l . The elastic potential energy stored in the extended wire is
Options
- AM g l
- BM g L
- C1 2 M g l
- D1 2   M g L
Correct answer
C. 1 2 M g l
Step-by-step solution
1 2 K l 2 = energy K l = M g K = M g l ∴ Energy = 1 2   K l 2 = 1 2 M g l   l 2 = M g l 2
