Find the maximum tension in the spring if initially spring at its natural length when block is released from rest.

A

$4\, m g$

B

$\frac{m g}{2}$

C

$\frac{3 \,m g}{2}$

D

$2\, mg$

Solution

The maximum force in the spring extension is given by,

$F_{max}=k x$

Consider the equilibrium,

$\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}=m g x$

$k x=2 m g$

Substitute $2 m g$ for $k x$ in equation $(I).$

$F_{\operatorname{max}}=2 m g$
