Q.19 (The original length of a spring is 25 cm. It elongates 2 a cm if a force of 0.96 N is exerted on it. A container is filled with water and one end of the spring is fixed 30 cm above the surface of the water in the container. A wooden block of mass 32 g and of density 0.4 g/cmis hanged onto the other end of the spring. The height of the block is 5 cm. To what depth (in mm) does the block sink into the water? Good 30cm 5cm

Explanation:
We now move from consideration of forces that affect the motion of an object (such as friction and drag) to those that affect an object’s shape. If a bulldozer pushes a car into a wall, the car will not move but it will noticeably change shape. A change in shape due to the application of a force is a deformation. Even very small forces are known to cause some deformation. For small deformations, two important characteristics are observed. First, the object returns to its original shape when the force is removed—that is, the deformation is elastic for small deformations. Second, the size of the deformation is proportional to the force—that is, for small deformations, Hooke’s law is obeyed. In equation form, Hooke’s law is given by
F = kΔL,
where ΔL is the amount of deformation (the change in length, for example) produced by the force F, and k is a proportionality constant that depends on the shape and composition of the object and the direction of the force. Note that this force is a function of the deformation ΔL—it is not constant as a kinetic friction force is. Rearranging this to
\displaystyle\Delta{L}=\frac{F}{k}ΔL=
k
F
makes it clear that the deformation is proportional to the applied force. Figure 1 shows the Hooke’s law relationship between the extension ΔL of a spring or of a human bone. For metals or springs, the straight line region in which Hooke’s law pertains is much larger. Bones are brittle and the elastic region is small and the fracture abrupt. Eventually a large enough stress to the material will cause it to break or fracture.
