Two block of equal mass m are connected ...

Two block of equal mass m are connected by an unstreatched spring and the system is kept at rest on a frictionless horizontal suface. A constant force F is applied on the first block pulling it away from the other as shown in figure.

Then the displacement of the centre of mass at time t is

A

`(Ft^(2))/(2m)`

B

`(Ft^(2))/(3m)`

C

`(Ft^(2))/(4m)`

D

`(Ft^(2))/(m)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C

As `ma_(cm) = f rArr a_(cm) = (f)/(2m) " so " s_(cm) = (1)/(2) at^(2) = ((f)/(4m))t^(2)`
