A body of mass 1 kg is suspended from a spring of force constant \(600 \mathrm{~N} \mathrm{~m}^{-1}\). Another body of mass 0.5 kg moving vertically upwards hits the suspended body with a velocity of \(3 \mathrm{~m} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}\) and embedded in it. The amplitude of motion is

  1. A 5 cm
  2. B 15 cm
  3. C 10 cm
  4. D 8 cm
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(M = m_1 + m_2 = 1 + 0.5 = 1.5 \text{ kg}\) \(V = \frac{m_2 v_2}{M} = \frac{0.5 \times 3}{1.5} = 1 \text{ m s}^{-1}\) \(x_0 = -\frac{m_2 g}{k} = -\frac{0.5 \times 10}{600} = -\frac{5}{600} = -\frac{1}{120} \text{ m}\) (assuming \(g=10 \text{ m s}^{-2}\))…
