Question

The spring block system lies on a smooth horizontal surface. The free end of the spring is being pulled towards right with constant speed v0=2 m/s. At t=0 sec, , the spring of constant k=100 N/cm is unstretched and the block has a speed 1 m/s to left. The maximum extension of the spring is

Solution

The correct option is C 6 cm
In the frame (inertial w.r.t. earth) of free end of spring, the initial velocity of block is 3 m/s to left and the spring unstretched.
Hence, by applying conservation of energy between initial and maximum extension state.
Kinetic Energy of block = Potential Energy of the spring
12mv2=12kx2
A=mkv
Therefore, by putting the values we get,
A=4×100100×3=6 cm

Final Answer: (c)
