$A$ massless spring of force constant $K$ is placed between two blocks of masses $m$ and $M$ on a frictionless table and compressed by an amount $x$. Upon releasing the spring,both blocks move in opposite directions. The blocks lose contact with the spring when it reaches its natural length. The speed of the block of mass $M$ at the moment of separation is:

  • A
    $\sqrt{\frac{Km}{M(M+m)}} \cdot x$
  • B
    $\sqrt{\frac{Km}{m(M+m)}} \cdot x$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{KM}{m(M+m)}} \cdot x$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{(M+m)K}{m}} \cdot x$

$A$ light elastic spring is placed on a massless platform as shown in the figure. $A$ sand particle of mass $0.1 \ kg$ is dropped onto the spring platform from a height of $0.24 \ m$. The particle sticks to the platform,causing the spring to compress by $0.01 \ m$. From what height should the particle be dropped so that the spring is compressed by $0.04 \ m$ (in $m$)?

When a spring is stretched by $10 \ cm$, the potential energy stored is $E$. When the spring is stretched by $10 \ cm$ more, the potential energy stored in the spring becomes (in $E$)

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

$A$ 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:
