A block of mass m is suspended from one ...


A block of mass m is suspended from one end of a light spring as shown. The origin O is considered at distance equal to natural length of the spring from the ceiling and vertical downwards direction as positive y-axis. When the system is in equilibrium a bullet of mass `(m)/(3)` moving in vertical up wards direction with velocity `v_0` strikes the block and embeds into it. As a result, the block (with bullet embedded into it) moves up and start oscillating. Based on the given information, answer the following question:
Q. The time taken by the block bullet system to move from `y=(mg)/(k)` (initial equilibrium position) to `y=0` (natural length of spring) is (A represents the amplitude of motion)
