A particle of mass m is suspended with the help of a spring and an inextensible string as shown in the figure. Force constant of the spring is k. The particle is pulled down from its equilibrium position by a distance x and released.
(a) Find maximum value of x for which the motion of the particle will remain simple harmonic.
(b) Find maximum tension in the string if
`x=(mg)/(2k)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
