An ideal spring with spring-constant K is hung from the ceiling and a block of mass M is attached to its lower end. The mass is released with the spring initially unstretched. Then the maximum extension in the spring is
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let x be the maximum extension of the spring. From energy conservation
Loss in gravitational potential energy
= Gain in potential energy of spring
