Q130 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2021 (19 Aug Shift 2) · Physics
A sphere of mass is attached to a spring of spring constant and is held in unstretched position over an inclined plane as shown in the figure. After letting the sphere go, find the maximum length by which the spring extends, given the sphere only rolls.

A sphere of mass is attached to a spring of spring constant and is held in unstretched position over an inclined plane as shown in the figure. After letting the sphere go, find the maximum length by which the spring extends, given the sphere only rolls.

- Correct answerA
- B
- C
- D
Solution
By applying conservation of energy, loss in gravitational P.E = Gain in P.E of spring.
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'A'.
