Two blocks of masses `m_1` and `m_2` are attached to the lower end of a light vertical spring of force constant k. The upper end of the spring is fixed. When the system is in equilibrium, the lower block `(m_2)` drops off. The other block `(m_1)` will

A

remain undistrubed

B

move through a distance `(m_2g)/(k)` and come to rest

C

undergo vertical SHM with a time period of `2pisqrt(m_1/k)`

D

undergo vertical SHM with a time period of
`2pisqrt((m_1+m_2)/(k))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts
