$A$ block of mass $m=25 \ kg$ sliding on a smooth horizontal surface with a velocity $v=3 \ ms^{-1}$ meets a spring of spring constant $k=100 \ N/m$ fixed at one end as shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring and the velocity of the block as it returns to the original position are, respectively:

  • A
    $1.5 \ m, -3 \ ms^{-1}$
  • B
    $1.5 \ m, 0.01 \ ms^{-1}$
  • C
    $1.0 \ m, 3 \ ms^{-1}$
  • D
    $0.5 \ m, 2 \ ms^{-1}$

$A$ spring has a natural length $l$ with one end fixed to the ceiling. The other end is fitted with a smooth ring which can slide on a horizontal rod fixed at distance $l$ below the ceiling. Initially, the spring makes an angle of $60^{\circ}$ with the vertical, when the system is released from rest. Find the angle of the spring with the vertical, when the velocity of the ring reaches half of the maximum velocity, which the ring can attain during the motion.

The work done in stretching a spring of natural length $25 \ cm$ and spring constant $50 \ Nm^{-1}$ from $50 \ cm$ to $60 \ cm$ is (in $J$)

$A$ ring of mass $m$ is attached to a horizontal spring of spring constant $k$ and natural length $l_0$. The other end of the spring is fixed,and the ring can slide on a smooth horizontal rod as shown. Now,the ring is shifted to position $B$ and released. The speed of the ring when the spring attains its natural length is:
