Block A of mass M in the figure is released from rest when the extension in the spring is x0. The maximum downward displacement of the block is (assume x0< Mgk)

a
2(Mgk-x0)
b
Mg2k+x0
c
2Mgk-x0
d
2Mgk+x0

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Loss in gravitational potential energy of block is equal to gain in elastic potential energy of springMgx = 12k(x+x0)2-12kx02On solving x = 2(Mgk-x0)
