$A$ small block of mass $m$ is placed on $a$ wedge of mass $M$ as shown, which is initially at rest. All the surfaces are frictionless . The spring attached to the other end of wedge has force constant $k$. If $a'$ is the acceleration of $m$ relative to the wedge as it starts coming down and $A$ is the acceleration acquired by the wedge as the block starts coming down, then  Maximum retardation of $M$ is:

37-685

  • A

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2mghk}}{{{M^2}}}} $

  • B

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2kgh}}{M}} $

  • C

    $\sqrt {\frac{{2kgh}}{m}} $

  • D

    None

A massless platform is kept on a light elastic spring as shown in fig. When a sand particle of mass $0.1\; kg$ is dropped on the pan from a height of $0.24 \;m$, the particle strikes the pan and spring is compressed by $0.01\; m$.

From what height should the particle be dropped to cause a compression of $0.04\; m$.
