Simple Harmonic Motion 4 Question 5

5. A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of unstretched length 4.9m. The other end of the spring (see the figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless surface. The block is stretched by 0.2m and released from rest at t=0. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular frequency ω=π3rad/s. Simultaneously at t=0, a small pebble is projected with speed v from point P at an angle of 45 as shown in the figure.

Point P is at a horizontal distance of 10m from O. If the pebble hits the block at t=1s, the value of v is

(take, g=10m/s2 )
