Question

A block of mass m starts moving with an initial velocity v0 at a distance L towards a stationary spring of stiffness K attached to the wall as shown in the figure.

Find the distance travelled by block on smooth surface before coming to rest.
Given that surface is rough only for distance L and friction coefficient μ is such that (12mv20>μmgL).

Solution

The correct option is D mv202μmgLK
Let block covers distance(L+X0) before coming to rest.
Work done by all forces =ΔKE
(W)friction + (W)spring=ΔKE

μmgL12Kx20=12mv20

μmgL+12Kx20=12mv20
12Kx20=12mv20μmgL
x0=mv202μmgLK

Hence option D is the correct answer
