In the figure shown when the massless spring is in released state its free end is at point B. A very small block is ressed against the spring by a distance delta and the released from rest. Except the portion BC where coefficient of kinetic friction is mu_(k), track is smooth everywhere. Determine the spring compression delta so that the block enters a small hole at E. Consider all values shown in the figure.

Answer»

Solution :We determine the speed REQUIRED at `D` so that the block falls into the HOLE at `E` by following a parbolic trajectory.
`v_(d)=`speed at `D`
`v_(d)=sqrt(8gd)`
APPLYING conservation of energy for motion from `A` to `D`
`(1)/(2)kdelta^(2)=mu_(k)mgd+mgd+(1)/(2)m(8gd) rArr delta=sqrt((2mgd)/(k)(mu_(K)+5))`
