5 This question is about stretching a spring.


(a) The graph shows how the extension of a spring varies when a force is applied to the spring.
The line on the graph shows that the spring has been extended past its elastic limit.
The line has a straight section and a curved section.

Extension

0 Force
(i) Draw a cross on the line to show the elastic
SAYAR limit of the spring.
