In the given figure, a mass
is attached to a horizontal spring which is fixed on one side to a rigid support.The spring constant of the spring is
. The mass oscillates on a frictionless surface with time period
andamplitude
. When the mass is in equilibrium position, as shown in the figure, another mass
is gently fixedupon it. The new amplitude of oscillation will be –

Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
A
JEE Main 2021


We Know that
and 
Also, momentum is conserved just before and just after the block of mass (
) is placed because there is no
implusive force. So –
