A spring of force constant 15 N/m is cut into two pieces. If the ratio of their lengths is 1 : 3, then the force constant of smaller piece is N/m.

  1. 20
  2. 45
  3. 60
  4. 15

Answer

(3) 60

Solution

For a spring, k 1l, i.e. kl = constant.

Lengths of the pieces: l4 and 3l4

Smaller piece: k1 l4 = 15 l

k1 = 4 15 = 60 N/m

Answer: (3)

A block of mass 2 kg is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is 2 m and spring constant is 200 N/m. The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes 1 m and then released. At distance x m (x < 2) from the wall, the speed of the block will be

  1. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ] 12 m/s
  2. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ] 32 m/s
  3. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ] m/s
  4. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ]2 m/s
