Question

In the figure shown, a plate of mass 60 grams is at rest and in equilibrium. A particle of mass m = 30 grams is released from height 4.5mgk from the plate. The particle sticks to the plate. Neglecting the duration of collision, the time from the collision of the particle and the plate to the moment when the spring has maximum compression is in the form of Xπ ms (millisecond) where X is (Spring has force constant of 100 N/m)

Solution


Velocity of the particle just before collision
u=2g×4.5 mgku=3gmk
Now it collides with the plate.
Now just after collision velocity of system of plate + particle
mu=3mVV=u3=gmk
Now system perform's SHM with time period T=2π3mk and mean position as mgk distance below the point of collision.
Let the equation of motion y=sin(ωt+ϕ)
for t=0, y=mgk
mgk=Asinϕ (1)Now for amplitude V=ωA2y2gmk=k3mA2m2g2k2A=2mgk (2)By (1) and (2)
y=A2 to y=0 t=T12y=0 to y=A t=T4
Total time t=T12+T4=2π33mk

Using values, t=20π ms
