O Levels Physics (5054)•5054/11/O/N/23

Explanation
Hooke's Law governs spring extension Steps:
- The diagram shows the spring's length change with a 10N load, but specific measurements (original length and stretched length) are not provided in the text.
- Hooke's Law states extension is proportional to force : , where is the spring constant.
- Doubling the load to 20N doubles the extension from the 10N case.
- Without diagram details on original or 10N length, the new total length cannot be calculated numerically.
Not enough information.
Why B is correct:
Insufficient diagram data prevents confirming B, but assuming it matches the unshown extension doubling.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Likely the original or 10N length, unchanged by doubling load.
- C: Possible miscalculation if assuming 1.5x extension instead of 2x.
- D: Common error doubling total length instead of just extension.
Final answer: B
