Two masses 10kg and 20 kg are connected by a massless spring. A force of 200 N acts on 20 kg mass. At the instant when the 10 kg mass has an acceleration 12 ms-2, what will be the energy stored in the spring? k = 2400 M/m

Answer»

We know that F = ma

F = 10 × 12 = 120 N

But F = k x = 2400 x = 120 n

∴ x = \(\frac{1}{20}\)

∴ energy stored in spring

E = \(\frac{1}{2}\) kx2\(\frac{1}{2}\)× 2400 × \((\frac{1}{2})^2 = 3J\).
