A block is attached to a spring as shown and very-very gradually lowered so that finally spring expands by $"d"$. If same block is attached to spring & released suddenly then maximum expansion in spring will be-
$d$
$2\,d$
$3\,d$
$4\,d$
Define spring constant and write its unit.
Explain the elastic potential energy of spring and obtain an expression for this energy.
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 $0.04\; m$.
Pulley and spring are massless and the friction is absent everwhere. $5\, kg$ block is released from rest. The speed of $5\, kg$ block when $2\, kg$ block leaves the contact with ground is (take force constant of the spring $K = 40\, N/m$ and $g = 10\, m/s^2)$
A vertical spring with force constant $k$ is fixed on a table. A ball of mass $m$ at a height $h$ above the free upper end of the spring falls vertically on the spring so that the spring is compressed by a distance $d.$ The net work done in the process is
