5.Work, Energy, Power and Collision
normal
The system of the wedge and the block connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure is released with the spring in its natural length. Friction is absent. maximum elongation in the spring will be

A
$\frac{{3Mg}}{{5k}}$
B
$\frac{{6Mg}}{{5k}}$
C
$\frac{{4Mg}}{{5k}}$
D
$\frac{{8Mg}}{{5k}}$
Solution
Using conservation of mechanical energy
$M g\left(x_{m} \sin \theta\right)=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{K}\mathrm{x}_{m}^{2}$
$x_{m}=\frac{2 M g \sin \theta}{K}$
$sin 37=\frac 35$
$x_{m}=\frac{6 M g }{5K}$
