(d). Work done by constant force in displacing the object by a distatance ℓ
= 1/2 * stress * strain * volume
= 1/2 / F/A * ℓ/L * A * L = Fℓ/2

Work done is equal to 1/2 × stress × strain × volume U=1/2 × F/A × ∆l/l × AL = 1/2 × f ∆l ATQ = 1/2FL

Dear student,
Please find the answer to your question.
 
Work done by constant force in displacing the object by a distatance ℓ
= 1/2 * stress * strain * volume
= 1/2 / F/A * ℓ/L * A * L = Fℓ/2
 
Thanks and regards,
