Two blocks of mass m 1 and m 2 joined to a non-deformed spring of length l 0 and stiffness K as shown in fig. If a force F is applied on block of mass m 2 . Find the maximum separation between the blocks.
A
l 0 + 
B
l 0 + 
C
l 0 + 
D
l 0 + 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
x 1 and x 2 be the maximum displacement in m 1 and m 2 respectively.
a COM = 
= 
(x 1 + x 2 )
or x 1 + x 2 = 
Thus maximum separation = l 0 + x 1 + x 2
= l 0 +
