Elastic and Plastic Behaviour
 

Elastic and Plastic Behaviour problem 34


A spring is suspended from a fixed point at one end. The spring is extended by a vertical force applied to the other end. The variation of the applied force with the length of the spring is shown in the figure below




For the spring:


  • state the name of the law that gives the relationship between the force and the extension


  • determine the spring constant, in


  • determine the elastic potential energy when .
