The figure shows a smooth curved track terminating in a smooth horizontal part. A spring of spring constant `400(N)//(m)` is attached at one end to a wedge fixed rigidly with the horizontal part . A 40 g mass is released from rest at a height of 5 m on the curved track. The maximum compression of the spring will beA. 9.8 mB. 9.8cmC. 0.98 mD. 0.009 km |

Answer» Correct Answer - B Applying the conservation of momentum to the system. `mgh = 1/2kx^(2)` Given, m = 0.04 kg, h=5m, k= 400Nm^(-1)` and x = deformation (compression in the spring)` `rArr x=(sqrt(2mgh)/k) = (sqrt(2 xx 0.04 xx 10 xx 5))/400` `=1/10 m = 10cm ~~ 9.8 cm` |
