Elastic and Plastic Behaviour
 

Elastic and Plastic Behaviour problem 28


Two elastic helical springs, the first has a spring constant while the second has a spring constant , are stretched to the same length.

  • Draw a graph of the applied force against the extension of the spring (one graph for both springs).

  • What is the ratio of their elastic energies after stretching?
