For the given case, choose the correct statement.

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
The net external force on the system (two blocks + spring),

Centre of mass remains at rest.
The spring will equally elongate by
on both sides of centre of mass
Let total extension of spring 
(i)
Spring force,
(ii)


[as the displacement of the block is
]
From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get

The magnitude of force on two blocks is same and equal to tension in the spring
.
