Problem

Two springs of force constants 300 N/m (Spring A) and 400 N/m (Spring B) are joined together in series. The combination is compressed by 8.75 cm. The ratio of energy stored in A and B is EAEB\frac{E_A}{E_B} . Then EAEB\frac{E_A}{E_B} is equal to : (1) 43\frac{4}{3} (2) 169\frac{16}{9} (3) 34\frac{3}{4} (4) 916\frac{9}{16}
