Use the graph to explain briefly why you would expect the oscillations to be simple harmonic. (b) () A force is required to cause an extension of a spring. Explain why this causes energy to be stored in the spring. (i) A spring of spring constant k under- goes an elastic change resulting in an extension x.

(b) Whilst stretching a length of thin copper wire it is noticed that () at first a fairly strong pull is needed to stretch it by a small amount and that it stretches uniformly, (ii) beyond a certain point the wire extends by a very much larger amount for no farther increase in the pull, (ii) finally the wire breaks.
