Ablock of 1 kg with a speed 1 m/s hits a spring placed horizontally as shown in the figure. if spring constant is 1000 n/m, find the compression in the spring.

0.0316 m

Explanation:

Wok done = Energy change

Work done on the spring = Energy change of the block

  Elastic Potential stored = Kinetic energy of the block

                              x =

                              x =

                              x = 0.0316 m

k = spring constant

m = mass of block

v = velocity of the block

x = compression of spring

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng
