A spring of mass m lies on a smooth table. One, end of it is clamped to the vertical wall and other end is attached to a mass m ( as shown in fig) and is placed on a horizontal frictionless surface. If the block of mass M is given a velocity `v_(0)` towards right find the K.E. of the system . ( AsSigmae velocity in spring is varying linearly).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
