The figure shows a mass $m$ on a frictionless surface. It is connected to rigid wall by the mean of a massless spring of its constant $k$. Initially, the spring is at its natural position. If a force of constant magnitude starts acting on the block towards right, then the speed of the block when the deformation in spring is $x,$ will be

A

$\sqrt{\frac{2 F{x}-k x^{2}}{m}}$

B

$\sqrt{\frac{F{x}-k x^{2}}{m}}$

C

$\sqrt{\frac{x(F-k)}{m}}$

D

$\sqrt{\frac{F{x}-k x^{2}}{2 m}}$

Solution

Free body diagram of block is shown below.

Now, from the energy conservation,

$w=\Delta K$

$w_{F}+w_{s p}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}-0$

$\Rightarrow F_{x}-\frac{1}{2} k x^{2}=\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}$

$\therefore v=\sqrt{\frac{2 F_{x}-k x^{2}}{m}}$
