A system of wedge and block connected by massless spring, as shown in figure is released with the spring in its natural length. The masses of bodies and spring constant are as shown in figure. All surfaces are frictionless. Maximum elongation in the spring will be-
Text Solution

By applying law of conservation of energy on whole system if mass slides down then its potential energy decreases mass slides x on inclined plane then its height decreased by cos component of 
then potential energy decreases of mass is
this energy is gained by spring as kinetic energy
from this we get,
