A block of mass m is attached to a spring of force constant k whose other end is fixed to a horizontal surface. Initially the spring is in its natural length and the block is released from rest. The average force acting on the surface by the spring till the instant when the block has zero acceleration for the first time is

A block of mass m is attached with a spring in vertical plane as shown in the figure. If initially spring is in its natural length and the block is released from rest, then maximum extension in the spring will be

A dumbbell consists of two balls A and B of mass m=1 kg and connected by a spring. The whole system is placed on a smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Initially the spring is at its natural length, the ball B is imparted a velocity v_(0)=8/(sqrt(7))m//s in the direction shown. The spring constant of the spring is adjusted so that the length of the spring at maximum elongation is twice that of the natural, length of the spring. Find the maximum potential energy stored (in Joule) in the spring during the motion.

A block attached with an ideal spring is kept on a smooth horizontal surface. Now the free end of the spring is pulled with a constant velocity u horizontally. Then the maximum energy stored in the spring and bock system during subsequent motion is :

A block of mass m having charge q is attached to a spring of spring constant k . This arrangement is placed in uniform electric field E on smooth horizontal surface as shown in the figure. Initially spring in unstretched. Find the extension of spring in equilibrium position and maximum extension of spring.

Two blocks having masses 8kg and 16kg are connected to the two ends of a light spring. The system is placed on a smooth horizontal floor. An inextensible string also connects B with ceiling as shown in the figure at the final moment. Initially the spring has its natural length. A constant horizontal force F is applied to the heavier block as shown. What is the maximum possible value of F so the lighter block doesn't loose contact with ground?

a block of mass 0.1 kg attached to a spring of spring constant 400 N/m pulled horizontally from x=0 to x_1 =10 mm. Find the work done by the spring force

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 :
