Question:medium
A load of mass m falls from a height h onto the scale pan hanging from a spring as shown in the figure. If the spring constant is k, mass of scale pan is zero, and the mass does not bounce relative to the pan, then the amplitude of vibration is
A load of mass m falls from a height h onto the scale pan hanging from a spring as shown in the figure. If the spring constant is k, mass of scale pan is zero, and the mass does not bounce relative to the pan, then the amplitude of vibration is
Show Hint
Amplitude is measured from new equilibrium position, not from natural length.

- \( \dfrac{mg}{k} \)
- \( \dfrac{mg}{k}\sqrt{\dfrac{1+2hk}{mg}} \)
- \( \dfrac{mg}{k} + \dfrac{mg}{k}\sqrt{\dfrac{1+2hk}{mg}} \)
- (mg)/(k)√((1+2hk)/(mg)) - (mg)/(k)
Show Solution
The Correct Option is B
