Question 5 (c)
In the following situations identify the agent exerting the force and the object on which it acts. State the effect of the force in each case.
(c) A load suspended from a spring while its other end is on a hook fixed to a wall.

Answer 1

Agent is the one who is applying the force, object is the one on which the force is being applied, and effect is the consequence of the application of the force.

Here, the load is applying the force on the spring. Hence, the load is the agent. The force is being applied on the spring. Hence, it is the object. The effect is the extension of the spring.

Agent - Load
Object - Spring
Effect - Expansion of spring.
