A mass `m` is attached to a spring. The spring is stretched to `x` by a force `F` and refeased. After being released, the mass comes to rest at the initial equilibrium position. The coeffiecient of friction, `mu_(k)` , is `:-`

A

`mu_(k)=(2Kx)/(mg)`

B

`mu_(k)=(2mg)/(F)`

C

`mu_(k)=(F)/(2mg)`

D

`mu_(k)=(mg)/(2Kx)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
By using work energy theorm, `W=DeltaKE`
`Fx-mu_(k)mgx-mu_(k)mgx=0rArrmu_(k)=(F)/(2mg)`

A block of mass m is attached to one end of a mass less spring of spring constant k. the other end of spring is fixed to a wall the block can move on a horizontal rough surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is mu then the compession of the spring for which maximum extension of the spring becomes half of maximum compression is .

In Fig 3E.17, the mass m_(2) rests on a rough table. The mass m_(1) is pushed against the spring to which it is not attached Force constant of the spring is k, coefficient of friction is mu_(k) . (a) Find the speed of the blocks after the spring is released and m_(2) has fallen a distance of h . (b) If the spring is attached to the block and it falls a distance h before coming to rest, calculate the coefficient of friction mu_(k) .

A mass m attached to a spring of spring constant k is stretched a distance x_0 from its equilibrium position and released with no initial velocity. The maximum speed attained by mass in its subsequent motion and the time at which this speed would be attained are, respectively.

A block of mass m, lying on a smooth horizontal surface, is attached to a spring (of negligible mass) of spring constant k. The other end of the spring is fixed, as shown in the figure. The block is initally at rest in its equilibrium position. If now the block is pulled withe a constant force F, the maximum speed of the block is :

A sping of spring constant k is attached to the ceiling. A block of mass M is attached to its lower end and is released suddenly. (ii) Find its speed at the instant it passes throught the equilibrium position.

Consider the system shown below, with two equal masses m and a spring with spring constant K . The coefficient of friction between the left mass and horizontal table is mu=1//4 , and the pulley is frictionless. The spring connecting both the blocks is massless and inelastic. The system is held with the spring at its unstretched length and then released. If the string connecting both the masses is cut just at the instant both masses came to momentary rest for the first time in question 5, then maximum compression of spring during resulting motion is (Take mu=1//4 )
