Concept Question How can the paradox with the spring be plained? In other words, which of the following statements is true 1. Equilibrium can be derived from the equiv alence of the external and the internal work 2. Equilibrium is an artifact of our imagina- tion 3. Equilibrium only considers the final state and not the process by which it has been reached. Intermediate states are ignored and may violate equilibrium 4.
