A block of mass `m` is attached to a spring of force constant `k` whose other end is fixed to a horizontal surface. Initially the spring is in its natural length and the block is released from rest. The average force acting on the surface by the spring till the instant when the block has zero acceleration for the first time is

A

`(mg)/(pi)`

B

`(2mg)/(pi)`

C

`(3mg)/(pi)`

D

`(4mg)/(pi)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`v_(max)=omegaxxmg//k`
`F_(av)=(mv_(max))/((T//4))=(2mg)/(pi)`

A block of mass m is connected to a spring (spring constant k ). Initially the block is at rest and the spring is in its natural length. Now the system is released in gravitational field and a variable force F is applied on the upper end of the spring such that the downward acceleration of the block is given as a=g-alphat , where t is time elapses and alpha=1m//s^(2) , the velocity of the point of application of the force is:

Figure shows two block A and B , each having a mass of 320 g connected by a light string passing over a smooth light pulley. The horizontal surface on which the block A can slide is smooth.
