A block of mass `m` is pushed up against a spring, compressing it a distance `x`, and the block is then released. The spring projects the block along a frictionaless horizontal surface, grving the block a speed `v`. The same spring projects a second block of mass `4m`, giving it a speed `3v`. What distance was the spring compressed in the second case ?

A

6x

B

`(x)/(6)`

C

36x

D

12x

A block of mass m suspended from a spring of spring constant k . Find the amplitude of S.H.M.

A block of mass 4 kg is suspended through two light spring balances A and B is series. Then A and B will read respectively.

The block of mass M moving on the frictionless horizontal surface collides with the spring constant k and compresses it by length L . The maximum momention of the block after collision is

If the two blocks moves with a constant uniform speed then find coefficient of fricition between the surface of the block B and the table. The spring is massless and the pulley is fricitionless.

One end of a light spring of spring constant k is fixed to a wall and the other end is tied to a block placed on a smooth horizontal surface. In a displacement, the work done by the spring is +(1/2)kx^(2) . The possible cases are.

Two blocks of equal mass m are connected by an unstretched spring and the system is kept at rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A constant force F is applied on the first block pulling away from the other as shown in Fig. Then the displacement of the centre of mass in at time t is

A block of mass M is pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a rope of mass m . Force P is applied at one end of rope. The force which the rope exerts on the block is:

Two springs are connected to a block of mass M is placed on a frictionless surface as shown in figure. If both springs have a spring constant k, the frequency of oscillation of the block is………

Two blocks of masses m and M are held against a compressed spring on a frictionless horizontal floor with the help of a light thread. When the thread is cut, the smaller block leaves the spring with a velocity u relative to the larger block. Find the recoil velocity of the larger block.
