In figure, the stiffness of the spring is k and mass of the block is m . The pulley is fixed. Initially, the block m is held such that the elongation in the spring is zero and then released from rest. Find: a. the maximum elongation in the spring. b. the maximum speed of the block m . Neglect the mass of the spring and that of the string. Also neglect the friction.

A block of mass m is connect to another block of mass M by a massless spring of spring constant k. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is upstretched when a constant force F starts acting on the block of mass M to pull it. Find the maximum extension of the spring.

A block of mass 'm' is connected to another block of mass 'M' by a spring (massless) of spring constant 'k' The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched Then a constant force 'F' starts acting on the block of mass 'M' to pull it. Find the force on the block of mass 'm' :

A block of mass m is connect to another block of mass M by a massless spring of spring constant k. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane.

A block of mass m attached with a an ideal spring of force constant k is placed on a rough inclined plane having inclination theta with the horizontal and coefficient of friction mu=1//2 tan theta , Initially the block is held stationary with the spring in its relaxed state, find the maximum extension in the spring if the block is released.

Two blocks A and B of masses in and 2m , respectively, are connected with the help of a spring having spring constant, k as shown in Fig. Initially, both the blocks arc moving with same velocity v on a smooth horizontal plane with the spring in its natural length. During their course of motion, block B makes an inelastic collision with block C of mass m which is initially at rest. The coefficient of restitution for the collision is 1//2 . The maximum compression in the spring is

Two blocks A and B of masses m_A and m_B are connected together by means of a spring and are resting on a horizontal frictionless table. The blocks are then pulled apart so as to stretch the spring and then released. Show that the kinetic energies of the blocks are, at any instant inversely proportional to their masses.

Initially mass m is held such that spring is in relaxed condition. If mass m is suddenly released, maximum elongation in spring will be

An ideal spring is permanently connected between two blocks of masses M and m . The blocks-spring system can move over a smooth horizontal table along a straight line along the length of the spring as shown in Fig.The blocks are brought nearer to compress the spring and then released. In the subsequent motion,
