Physics Worksheet – Deformation (Class IX) 4. A spring has a length of 9 cm when loaded with a 200 g mass. The
extension-mass graph for the spring is shown.
Name: _____________________ Date: _______________

1. A metal wire is suspended from a support and loads of different mass are
attached to the lower end. The table shows how the extension of the wire
depends on the mass of the load.

Between which values of mass does the limit of proportionality lie?


A. 0 and 2.0 kg The 200 g mass is replaced with a 100 g mass. What is the new length of
B. 4.0 kg and 6.0 kg the spring?
C. 6.0 kg and 8.0 kg
D. 8.0 kg and 10.0 kg

2. A metal wire, of initial length 1000 mm, extends by 4 mm when a load 5. The diagram shows how the length of a spring changes when a load of
of 2 N is added to it. 10 N is hung on it.
What is the length of the wire when a further 3 N is added, assuming that
the wire does not extend beyond the limit of proportionality?

3. The graph shows extension-load curves for four fibres.


Which fibre is the hardest to stretch over the range of loads shown?

The 10 N load is replaced by a 20 N load. What is the new length of the


spring?

6. An extension-load graph is plotted to show the result of increasing the


load on a spring.
Which point marks the limit of proportionality for this spring?
(a) At point P on Fig. 1.1, the line stops being straight and begins to curve.
State the name of point P. [1]
(b) (i) Using Fig. 1.1, determine the unstretched length of the spring. [1]
(ii) Calculate the extension of the spring for a load of 2.5 N. [1]
(c) The student attaches a small block of wood to an identical spring.
The extension of the spring is 6.5 cm. The gravitational field strength g
is 10 N / kg. Calculate the mass of the block of wood. [2]

8. Fig. 1.1 shows a graph of the stretching force F acting on a spring against
the extension x of the spring.
7. A student suspends a spring from a clamp stand. He measures the
unstretched length of the spring with no load attached. He then attaches
different loads to the lower end of the spring and measures the new
lengths of the spring.
Fig. 1.1 shows how the total length of the spring depends on the load
attached.

(a) Calculate k, the force per unit extension of the spring. [3]
(b) The limit of proportionality of the spring is reached at an extension of
50 mm. Continue the graph in Fig. 1.1 to suggest how the spring behaves
when the stretching force is increased to values above 125 N. [1]
(c) Another spring has a smaller value of k. This spring obeys Hooke’s law
for extensions up to 80 mm. On the grid of Fig. 1.1, draw a possible line
of the variation of F with x for this spring. [1]
