$A$ block of mass $M_1$ is hanged by a light spring of force constant $k$ to the top bar of a reverse Uframe of mass $M_2$ on the floor. The block is pooled down from its equilibrium position by $a$ distance $x$ and then released. Find the minimum value of $x$ such that the reverse $U$ -frame will leave the floor momentarily.
  • A$x = (M_1 + M_2)g/k$
  • B$x = (2M_1 + M_2)g/k$
  • C$x = (M_1 + 2M_2)g/k$
  • D$x = M_1g/k$
