    Two springs of force constants 300 N/m (Spring A) and 400 N/m (Spring B) are joined together in compressed by 8.75 cm. The ratio of energy stored in A and B is\[\frac{{{E}_{A}}}{{{E}_{B}}}\]. The  \[{}^{{{E}_{A}}}/{}_{{{E}_{B}}}\]is equal to: [JEE ONLINE 09-04-2013]

    A)             \[\frac{4}{3}\]

    B) \[\frac{16}{9}\]

    C)             \[\frac{3}{4}\]

    D) \[\frac{9}{16}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    ’
    [a] We have
    \[{{k}_{1}}=\frac{{{F}_{A}}}{{{x}_{B}}}\]   
    As, \[x={{x}_{A}}+{{x}_{B}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]        \[\frac{{{k}_{A}}+{{k}_{B}}}{{{k}_{A}}{{k}_{B}}}=\frac{1}{{{k}_{eq}}}\]
    or         \[\frac{k}{{{k}_{eq}}}=\frac{{{k}_{A}}{{k}_{B}}}{{{k}_{A}}+{{k}_{B}}}\]
    \[=\frac{300\times 400}{700}=\frac{1200}{7}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[F=kx=\frac{1200}{7}\times 8.75\times {{10}^{-2}}=15\,N\]\[F={{k}_{A}}\,{{x}_{A}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{x}_{A}}=\frac{F}{{{k}_{A}}}=\frac{15}{300}=20\]
    and       \[{{x}_{b}}=\frac{F}{{{k}_{B}}}=\frac{15}{400}\]
    \[\frac{{{x}_{A}}}{{{x}_{B}}}=\frac{4}{3}\]
    \[\therefore \]      \[\frac{{{E}_{A}}}{{{E}_{B}}}=\frac{{{k}_{A}}x_{A}^{2}}{{{k}_{B}}\times {{x}_{B}}^{2}}\]        \[\left( \because \,E=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}} \right)\]
    \[=\frac{3}{4}\propto \,{{\left( \frac{4}{3} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{4}{3}\]
