Work Energy And Power Question 267

Question: A ring of mass m can slide over a smooth vertical rod as shown in figure. The ring is connected to a spring of force constant k=4mgIR , where 2 R is the natural length of the spring. The other end of spring is fixed to the ground at a horizontal distance 2 R from the base of the rod. If the mass is released at a height 1.5 R, then the velocity of the ring as it reaches the ground is Critical Thinking

Options:

A) gR

B) 2gR

C) 2gR

D) 3gR

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Initial length of the spring, i,=(2R)2+(1.5R)2=2.5R
xi=2.5R2R=0.5R.

Now12kxi2+mg(1.5R)=12mv2 or 12k(0.5R)2+mg(1.5R)
