Question

Five different experiments are carried out. In each experiment, a block is attached to a horizontal spring. The block is pulled back a certain distance and released. The block oscillates back and forth on a frictionless surface. Rank the amplitude of oscillation for each of the following situations. (Rank the smallest amplitude as 1).
1 2 3 4 5  A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
1 2 3 4 5  A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant 2k, pulled back a distance (1/2)d, and released.
1 2 3 4 5  A block of mass 2M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
1 2 3 4 5  A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant (1/2)k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
1 2 3 4 5  A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance 2d, and released.

Explanation / Answer

For maximum Aplitude Compression/Extension in spring should be maximum.

Aplitude is independent of Spring constant K.

so order of amplitude is

2<1=3=4<5

2 has minimum extension and 5 has maximum extension
