Question

The force required to stretch a spring varies with the distance as shown in the figure. If the experiment is performed with the above spring of half length, the line OA will

  1. Shift towards F-axis    
  2. Shift towards X-axis    
  3. Remain as it is    
  4. Become double in length    

The correct answer is: Shift towards F-axis


    When the length of spring is halved, its spring constant will becomes double. (because k proportional to fraction numerator 1 over denominator x end fraction proportional to fraction numerator 1 over denominator L end fraction therefore k proportional to fraction numerator 1 over denominator L end fraction)
    Slope of force displacement graph gives the spring constant (k) of spring.
    If k becomes double then slope of the graph increases i.e. graph shifts towards force-axis
