A block of mass m is attached to the light spring of froce constant k and released when it is in its natural length. Find amplitude of subsequent oscillations.

A block of mass m is attached to the light spring of froce constant k

1.	A block of mass m is attached to the light spring of froce constant k and released when it is in its natural length. Find amplitude of subsequent oscillations.
Answer» Solution :The maximum DISPLACEMENT of the spring in subsequent motion WIL be `(2MG)/k` The equilibrium position of the SYSTEM will occur at the extension of `(MG)/k` `:.` amplitude `=(2mg)/k-(mg)/k=(mg)/k`
