    The force constant of weightless spring is 16 N/m. A body of mass 1.0 kg suspended from it is pulled down through 5 cm and then released. The maximum kinetic energy of the system (spring +body) will be

    A)  \[\text{2 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]                           

    B)  \[\text{4 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]

    C)  \[\text{8 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]                           

    D)  \[\text{16 }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 1}{{\text{0}}^{\text{-2}}}\text{J}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Given, \[k=16N/m,\] \[m=1kg\] amplitude \[a=5cm=5\times {{10}^{-2}}m.\] Kinetic energy of a body executing SHM.                 \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}({{a}^{2}}-{{y}^{2}})\] When displacement \[y=0,\] then KE is maximum. \[\therefore \] Maximum \[KE=\frac{1}{2}m{{\omega }^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\left( \frac{2\pi }{T} \right)}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}m{{\left( \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}} \right)}^{2}}{{a}^{2}}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}m\times \frac{k}{m}\times {{a}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{a}^{2}}\]                                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 16kt{{(5\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}\]                                 \[=200\times {{10}^{-4}}=2\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]
