A force-extension graph is used to describe the behaviour of a spring complying with Hooke's law.
Which quantities are represented by the gradient of the graph and the area under the graph?
Gradient: spring constant; Area: work done
Gradient: spring constant; Area: total extension
Gradient: work done; Area: spring constant
Gradient: total extension; Area: work done
