A particle dropped from a vertical height and falls freely for a time interval t. Sketch and explain a graph to show how h varies with (a) t (b) t\(^{2}\).

The diagram below represents the graph of the force applied in stretching a spiral spring against the corresponding extension produced within its elastic limit.

Using the notations on the graph, determine the:
(a) force constant of the spring;
(b) work done in stretching the spring from 10 x 10\(^{-2}\)m to 20 x 10\(^{-2}\)m.
