Which displacement value will produce the smallest restoring force if the same spring is used in each case? 12cm 2 cm 13cm 3 cm

OpenStudy (shamim):

Restoring force F=-kx

OpenStudy (shamim):

Here k=spring constant x=displacement

OpenStudy (shamim):

So k is same for ur 4 displacement

OpenStudy (shamim):

F is directly proportional to x

OpenStudy (shamim):

If x is maximum F is maximum

OpenStudy (shamim):

If x is minimum F is minimum

OpenStudy (shamim):

Now can u tell me the lowest value of x frm ur given 4 options
