Question

 When a body of mass 1.0 kg is suspended from a certain light spring hanging vertically, its length increases by 5 cm. By suspending 2 .0 kg block to the spring and if the block is pulled through 10 cm and released, the maximum velocity in it in m/s is [Acceleration due to gravity = 10 m / s2)

Difficult
Solution

 For a spring F =-k x and F =m g
m g = - k x 

or k=(mg/x) magnitude  or k=1×10(5/100)=200N/m The angular frequency of oscillation of 2 kg mass is given by ω=km=2002=10rad/sec  Now vmax=ωa=10×01=1m/s
