A block of mass ‘ ’is hanging from massless spring of spring constant . It is in equilibrium under the influence of gravitational force. Another particle of same mass ‘ ’ moving upwards with velocity hits the block and sticks to it. For the subsequent motion, choose the statements:
a) |
Velocity of the combined mass must be maximum at natural length of the spring |
b) |
Velocity of the combined mass must be maximum at the new equilibrium position |
c) |
Velocity of the combined mass must be maximum at the instant particle hits the block |
d) |
Velocity of the combined mass must be maximum at a point lying between old equilibrium position and natural length |
