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 maximum force on the block for each of the following situations. (Rank the smallest force as 1).
12345 A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant (1/2)k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
12345 A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
12345 A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant 2k, pulled back a distance 2d, and released.
12345 A block of mass (1/2)M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance d, and released.
12345 A block of mass M is attached to a spring with a spring constant k, pulled back a distance 2d, and released.

Explanation / Answer

The spring with maximum constant, pulled by maximum distance gives maximum force.

The force is F= k x d

Hence greater k , greater d greater will be the force.

Force is independent of mass of block M.

hence order will be

12453

lowest to highest
