A block 
of mass 
is moving with velocity 
and collides elastically with block A of mass m and connected to another block 
of mass 
through spring of spring constant 
. What is the value of 
, if 
is compression of spring, when velocity of 
and 
is same?
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
Using the law of conservation of linear momentum, we have
Using law of conservation of energy, we have
where, 
is compression in the spring.
