Question

A block of mass 250 g is kept (does not stick to spring) on a vertical spring of spring constant 100 N/m fixed from below. The spring is now compressed to have a length 10 cm shorter than its natural length and the system is released from this position. How high does the block rise from this position? Take g=10 m/s2.

Solution

The correct option is A 20 cm
PE held by KE=kx2/2=100(0.1)2/2=0.5J
Hence, KE transferred to the mass= 0.5J=0.5mu2
u=1/0.25=2m/s
v2=u2+2as
0=4+2(10)s
s=0.2m=20cm
