Q131 / 160 · AP EAMCET 2019 (21 Apr Shift 2) · Physics
One end of a spring of force constant is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance , from the block. The spring is then compressed by and released. The time taken by the block to strike the other wall is

One end of a spring of force constant is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance , from the block. The spring is then compressed by and released. The time taken by the block to strike the other wall is

- A
- B
- Correct answerC
- D
Solution
Given,
Maximum compression
Distance of block from wall
Mass of block
Since initially block is at extreme position, its equation will be-
When block hit the wall, its position will be
Put this value in equation of -
For given -
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
