Find how much mass `m` will rise if `4m` falls away. Blocks are at rest and in equilibrium.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`(8mg)/(k)`

Applying WET on block of mass m
`W_g+W_(sp)=K_f-K_i`
Let finally displacement of block from equilibrium is x.
`-mg((5mg)/(k)+x)+1/2k((25m^2g^2)/(k^2))-1/2kx^2=0`
`1/2kx^2+mgx-(15m^2g^2)/(2k)=0`
`x=(3mg)/(k)`
Displacement from initial is `(5mg)/(k)+(3mg)/(k)=(8mg)/(k)`

A block of mass M is tied to a spring of force constant K and the system is suspended vertically. Consider three situations shown in fig. (a), (b) and (c). (a) In fig. (a), an insect of mass M is clinging to the block and the system is in equilibrium. The insect leaves the block and falls. Find the amplitude of resulting oscillations. (b) In fig. (b), an insect of mass M is resting on the top of the block and the system is in equilibrium. The insect suddenly jumps up with a speed u=gsqrt((M)/(K)) and the block starts oscillating. Find amplitude of oscillation assuming that the insect never falls back on the block (c) In fig. (c), an insect of mass M falls on the block this in equilibrium. The insect hits the block with velocity u=gsqrt((M)/(K)) while moving downwards sticks to the block. Find the amplitude of oscillation.

Two blocks A and B are connected by as string as shown in figure. Friction coefficient of the incline plane and block is 0.5 . The mass of the block A is 5 kg .
