Q132 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2022 (04 Jul Shift 2) · Physics
As shown in the figure, an iron block of volume is attached to a spring of unstretched length and hanging to the ceiling of a roof. The spring gets stretched by . This block is removed and another block of iron of volume is now attached to the same spring and kept on a frictionless incline plane of inclination. The distance of the block from the top along the incline at equilibrium is

As shown in the figure, an iron block of volume is attached to a spring of unstretched length and hanging to the ceiling of a roof. The spring gets stretched by . This block is removed and another block of iron of volume is now attached to the same spring and kept on a frictionless incline plane of inclination. The distance of the block from the top along the incline at equilibrium is

- A
- Correct answerB
- C
- D
Solution
The free body diagrams of the blocks are shown in the figure below.
At equilibrium, the net force on a body is zero. Therefore,
For block ,
And for block ,
Since the same material is used for both the blocks, their masses will be proportional to their volume.
.
Therefore, the distance of block from the top is .
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
