A block, attached to a spring is kept on a smooth surface, and is pulled by a constant horizontal force, as shown in the figure. Initially, the spring is in the natural state. The maximum positive work that the applied force F can do is [Given that spring does not break]
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Applying work-energy theorem on block, Work done by force F will be stored in the spring as its potential.
= 0
