A $1\,kg$ mass is attached to a spring of force constant $600\,N / m$ and rests on a smooth horizontal surface with other end of the spring tied to wall as shown in figure. A second mass of $0.5\,kg$ slides along the surface towards the first at $3\,m / s$. If the masses make a perfectly inelastic collision, then find amplitude and time period of oscillation of combined mass.
  • A$5\,cm , \frac{\pi}{10}\, s$
  • B$5\, cm , \frac{\pi}{5}\,s$
  • C$4\,cm , \frac{2 \pi}{5}\,s$
  • D$4\,cm , \pi / 3\,s$

    A massless spring $(k = 800\, N/m)$, attached with a mass $(500\, g)$ is completely immersed in $1\, kg$ of water. The spring is stretched by $2\, cm$ and released so that it starts vibrating. What would be the order of magnitude of the change in the temperature of water when the vibrations stop completely? (Assume that the water container and spring receive negligible heat and specific heat of mass $= 400\, J/kg\, K$, specific heat of water $= 4184\, J/kg\, K$)
