The two masses `m_(1)` and `m_(2)` are joined by a spring as shown. The system is dropped to the ground from a height. The spring will be

A

Streched when `m_(2)gtm_(1)`

B

Compressed when `m_(2)ltm_(1)`

C

neither compressed not stretched only when `m_(1)=m_(2)`

D

neither compressed not stretched regardless of the values of `m_(1)` and `m_(2)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The system, as a whole, will fall towards ground under gravity. The spring will neither be compressed nor stretched regradiess of the values of `m_(1)` and `m_(2)`.

The blocks ov mass m_(1)=1kg and m_(2)=2kg are connected by an ideal spring, rest on a rough horizontal surface. The spring is unstressed. The spring constant of spring is K=2N//m . The coefficient of friction between blocks and horizontal surface is mu=(1)/(2) . Now the left block is imparted a velocity u towards right as shown. The largest value of u( in m//s) such that the block of mass m_(2) never moves is ( Take g=10m//s^(2))

Two blocks of masses m_(1) and m_(2) are kept on a smooth horizontal table as shown in figure. Block of mass m_(1) (but not m_(2) is fastened to the spring.

In the system as shown in figure, the blocks have masses m_(1) and m_(2) , the spring constant is k, coefficient of friction between the block of mass m_(1) and the surface is mu . The system is released with zero initial speed from the position where the spring is in its natural length.

Two masses m_1 and m_2 re connected by a spring of spring constant k and are placed on as frictionless horizontal surface. Initially the spring is stretched through a distance x_0 when the system is released from rest. Find the distance moved by the two masses before they again come to rest.

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.

Two masses m and 2m are attached to two ends of an ideal spring as shown in figure. When the spring is in the compressed state, the energy of the spring is 60 J, if the spring is released, then at its natural length
