Q.
A small block is connected to one end of a massless spring of
unstretched length 4.9 m. The other end of the spring (see the
figure) is fixed. The system lies on a horizontal frictionless
surface. The block is stretched by 0.2 m and released from rest at
t = 0. It then executes simple harmonic motion with angular
frequency to = rad/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 10 m from O. If the pebble
hits the block at / = 1 s, the value of v is

Solution:
