One end of a light spring of force const...

One end of a light spring of force 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 case(s) may be

A

the spring was initially stretched by a distance x and finally in its natural length

B

the spring was initially in its natural length and finally it was compressed by a distance x

C

the spring was initially compressed by a distance x and finally was in its natural length

D

the spring was initially in its natural length and finally stretched by a distance x

There is another wall at a distance of sqrt(3)x_(0) from the body. If all the collisions are elastic and spring is compressed by 2x_(0) and released, then the time period of oscillation is

A block of mass m is attached to one end of a mass less spring of spring constant k. the other end of spring is fixed to a wall the block can move on a horizontal rough surface. The coefficient of friction between the block and the surface is mu then the compession of the spring for which maximum extension of the spring becomes half of maximum compression is .

One end of a light spring of natural length d and spring constant k is fixed on a rigid wall and the other is attached to a smooth ring of mass m which can slide without friction on a vertical rod fixed at a distance d from the wall. Initially the spring makes an angle of 37^(@) with the horizontal as shown in fig. When the system is released from rest, find the speed of the ring when the spring becomes horizontal. [ sin 37^(@) = 3/5]
