A smooth curved surface of height 10 m is ended horizontally. A spring of force constant 
is fixed at the horizontal end as shown in figure. When an object of mass 10 g is released from the top, it travels along the curved path and collides with the spring. Then, the maximum compression in the spring is (Take, 
)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
B
Let the maximum compression in the spring be 
. From law of conservation of energy,
Thus, compression in the spring is 0.1 m.
