Question Number 23518 by Tinkutara last updated on 01/Nov/17
A ball of mass 1 kg moving with velocity 3 m/s collides with spring of natural length 2 m and force constant 144 N/m. What will be length of compressed spring?

Book′s answer: 1.5 m Mine: 1.75 m Which is right?

case 1: (1/2)mv^2 =(1/2)kΔ^2 Δ=v(√(m/k))=3(√(1/(144)))=(3/(12))=(1/4)=0.25 m L_2 =L−Δ=2−0.25=1.75 m case 2: (1/2)mv^2 +mgΔ=(1/2)kΔ^2 kΔ^2 −2mgΔ−mv^2 =0 ⇒Δ=((2mg+(√(4m^2 g^2 +4kmv^2 )))/(2k)) ⇒Δ=((mg+(√(m^2 g^2 +kmv^2 )))/k)=((10+(√(100+144×9)))/(144))=0.32 m L_2 =L−Δ=1.68 m

Thank you very much Sir! What is the reason for case 2?

case 2 is the case in that the spring is compressed mostly. that is when the mass hits the spring vertically with a speed v. i just wanted to see if the spring could be compressed 0.5m even in the worst case.
