The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the spring constant \( k \) of a spring mass system given the time period \( T \) and the mass \( m \) of the block. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Values:** - Time period \( T = 2 \) seconds - Mass \( m = 10 \) grams 2. **Convert Mass to Kilograms:** - Since the standard unit of mass in physics is kilograms, we need to convert grams to kilograms. \[ m = 10 \text{ grams} = \frac{10}{1000} = 0.01 \text{ kg} \] 3. **Use the Formula for Time Period:** - The formula for the time period \( T \) of a spring mass system is given by: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \] - Rearranging the formula to solve for \( k \): \[ T^2 = 4\pi^2 \frac{m}{k} \implies k = 4\pi^2 \frac{m}{T^2} \] 4. **Substitute the Known Values:** - Now, substitute \( T = 2 \) seconds and \( m = 0.01 \) kg into the equation: \[ k = 4\pi^2 \frac{0.01}{2^2} \] - Simplifying further: \[ k = 4\pi^2 \frac{0.01}{4} = \pi^2 \cdot 0.01 \] 5. **Calculate \( \pi^2 \):** - The approximate value of \( \pi^2 \) is about \( 9.87 \). \[ k \approx 9.87 \cdot 0.01 = 0.0987 \text{ N/m} \] 6. **Final Result:** - Rounding to two decimal places, we find: \[ k \approx 0.1 \text{ N/m} \] ### Conclusion: The spring constant \( k \) of the spring is approximately \( 0.1 \) N/m.

A spring-block system is resting on a frictionless floor as shown in the figure. The spring constant is 2.0Nm^(-1) and the mass of the block is 2.0 kg. Ignore the mass of the spring. Initially the spring is in an unstretched condition. Another block of mass 1.0 kg moving with a speed of 2.0ms^(-1) collides elastically with the first block. The collision is such that the 2.0 kg block does not hit the wall. The distance, in metres, between the two blocks when the spring returns to its unstretched position for the first time after the collision is
