Solution
The correct option is B2√2m/s Let x be the extension in the spring when 2kg block leaves the contact with ground. FBD of 2kg block : (just leaving the ground )
Then T=mg=kx kx=2gorx=2gk=2×1040=12m Now from conservation of mechanical energy loss of gravitational potential energy of mass 5kg causes gain in elastic potential energy of spring and Kinetic energy of mass 5kg mgx=12kx2+12mv2(m=5kg) v=√2gx−kx2m. Substituting the values v=√2×10×12−(40)4×5v=2√2m/s
