Question

A slab of mass m is released from a height h0 from the top of a spring S’ of force constant  K. The maximum compression x of the spring is given by the equation:

                                                                           

Solution

Correct option is

 

Loss in PE of the mass = potential energy stored in the compressed spring.

If  x be the maximum compression produced in the spring, then loss in PEof the mass (which moves downwards through a distance h + x

                                 

and potential energy stored in the compressed spring

                                 

Hence, according to law of conservation of energy
