Question

Which displacement value will produce the smallest restoring force if the same spring is used in each case?

12cm

2 cm

13cm

3 cm

Answer 1

Restoring force F=-kx

Answer 2

Here
k=spring constant
x=displacement

Answer 3

So k is same for ur 4 displacement

Answer 4

F is directly proportional to x

Answer 5

If x is maximum F is maximum

Answer 6

If x is minimum F is minimum

Answer 7

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