A ball of mass \(100 \,g\) is dropped from a height \(h =\) \(10\, cm\) on a platform fixed at the top of vertical spring (as shown in figure). The ball stays on the platform and the platform is depressed by a distance \(\frac{ h }{2}\). The spring constant is.......... \(Nm^{-1}\) . (Use \(g=10\, ms ^{-2}\) )

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(120\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
By energy conservation
\(PE = KE\)
\(mg \left( H +\frac{ H }{2}\right)=\frac{1}{2} kx ^{2}\left( x =\frac{ H }{2}\right)\)
\(0.100 \times 10 \times \frac{3}{2}(0.10)=\frac{1}{2} k (0.05 \times 0.05)\)
\(k =\frac{3 \times 0.10}{0.05 \times 0.05}\)
\(=\frac{3 \times 1000}{25}=120\, N / m\)
