Question 40
MENAT2 marksNeeds review
A rigid block of mass
kg having velocity
m/s strikes a stationary block of mass
kg after traveling 1 m along a frictionless horizontal surface as shown in the figure.
The two masses stick together and jointly move by a distance of 0.25 m further along the same frictionless surface, before they touch the mass-less buffer that is connected to the rigid vertical wall by means of a linear spring having a spring constant
N/m. The maximum deflection of the spring is ______ cm (round off to 2 decimal places).Log in to check the answer
