Two blocks of masses m and M connected by a light spring of stiffness k, are kept on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in figure. What should be the initial compression of the spring so that the system will be about to break off the surface, after releasing the block `m_1`?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we need to determine the initial compression of the spring so that the system will be about to break off the surface after releasing the block of mass \( m \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Forces Acting on the Blocks**: - The block of mass \( m \) is connected to the block of mass \( M \) by a spring with spring constant \( k \). - When the spring is compressed by an amount \( x \), it exerts a force on both blocks. ...
