An elastic string of force constant 200N m-1 is stretched through 0.8m within its elastic limit. Calculate the energy stored in the string

  • A. 64.0J
  • B. 80.0J
  • C. 128.0J
  • D. 160.0J

Correct Answer: A. 64.0J

Explanation

E = \(\frac{1}{2}Ke^2\)

= \(\frac{1}{2} \times 200(0.8)^2 = 64J\)
