Solution

The correct options are
A The particles perform SHM with time period π10 sec
B The block of mass 3 kg perform SHM with amplitude 4 cm
C The block of mass 6 kg will have maximum momentum 2.40 kg m/s
Time period of the oscillation : T=2πμK
Where, μ=m1m2m1+m2=3×66+3=189=2 kg,
K=800 N/m
K= spring constant
Put these values in formula
T=2π2800=2π×120
T=π10 sec.
(B) Here, x0=6 cm
x1+x2=6...(1)
3x1=6x2
x1=2x2
from eqn. (1)
2x2+x2=6
3x2=6
x2=2 cm
put the value of x2 in equation
and x1+2=6
x1=4 cm
So, the block of mass 3 kg perform SHM with amplitude 4 cm
(C) applying conservation of momentum -
3v16v2=0
3v1=6v2
v1=2v2
Applying energy conservation -
12×3v21+12×6×v22=12kx20
32v21+3v22=12×800×(0.06)2
put the value of v1 in this -
32(2v2)2+3v22=12×800×0.0036
6v22+3v22=400×36×104
9v22=1.44
v2=1.449=1.23
v2=0.4 m /sec
So, the block of mass 6 kg will have maximum momentum -
Pmax=6×0.4
Pmax=2.40 kg~m/sec.
