Question

Graph between stretching force and extension of a spring is shown in the figure. Change in the line PQ when same force is applied to a spring of half the length is given by (A) same graph (B) line of double the length (C) shifting towards x-axis (D) shifting towards y-axis

Extension propto Original length. So for halved spring the extension will be less for the same force. So the PQ line will shift towards Y-axis

Q. Graph between stretching force and extension of a spring is shown in the figure. Change in the line $PQ$ when same force is applied to a spring of half the length is given by

same graph

line of double the length

shifting towards x-axis

shifting towards y-axis

Extension $\propto$ Original length.
So for halved spring the extension will be less for the same force. So the PQ line will shift towards Y-axis
