Questions  

 A block of mass M is suspended from a light spring of force constant k. Another mass m moving upwards with velocity v hits the mass M and gets embedded in it. What will be the amplitude of oscillation of the combined mass ?

a
mv(M−m)k
b
mv(M+m)k
c
Mv(M−m)k
d
MV(M+m)k

detailed solution

Correct option is B

mv=(M+m)v′  or  v′=mM+mv Further, maximum P.E. = maximum K.E. ∴ 12kA2=12(M+m)v′2 or A=M+mk1/2×V′ =M+mk1/2×mM+m×V=mv(M+m)k
