A block is suspended from the ceiling using a massless spring having a spring constant . Find the elongation of the spring. If an additional is attached to the block, what would be the further elongation?
Options
- A and
- B and
- C and
- D and
Correct answer
B. and
Step-by-step solution
Given , , and taking .
At equilibrium, the restoring force of the spring balances the weight of the block.
When an additional mass is attached, the additional restoring force balances the additional weight.
The initial elongation is and the further elongation is .
