A block of mass `0.18 kg` is attached to a spring of force-constant `2 N//m`. The coefficient of friction between the block and the floor is `0.1` Initially the block is at rest and the spring is un-stretched. An impulse is given to the block as shown in the figure. The block slides a distance of `0.06 m` and comes to rest for the first time. The initial velocity of the block in m//s is `V = N//10`. Then `N` is : .

Answer» Correct Answer - `4`
Decrease in mechanical energy = work done
against friction `(1)/(2) m upsilon^(2) - (1)/(2) kx^(2) = (mu mg ) x`
`v = sqrt((2 mugx+k)/(m))`
Putting `m = 0.18 kg, x = 0.06 m, k = 2Nm^(-1)`,
`mu = 01` we get
`upsilon = 0.4 m//s = (4)/(10) m//s`
`:. N = 4`.
