Spring & Elastic Energy

The restoring force of a spring with a block attached to the free end of the spring is represented by

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

xFF = −kx
  1. Restoring force obeys Hooke's law: Fx=−kxF_x = -kx.
  2. This is a straight line through the origin with negative slope (Fx<0F_x < 0 for x>0x > 0, Fx>0F_x > 0 for x<0x < 0).
  3. So the answer is (a).
