    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) \[2\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]                

    B)        \[4\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

    C) \[8\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]                

    D)        \[16\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Maximum KE of the system                 = Maximum PE of the system                 \[=\frac{1}{2}k{{x}^{2}}\]                 \[=\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times {{(5\times {{10}^{-2}})}^{2}}\]                 \[=2\times {{10}^{-2}}J\]
