Physics Question on Oscillations
An object of mass M is attached to a vertical spring and in the equilibrium position the extension of the spring is x. The mass is raised upwards, till the extension of the spring is reduced to zero and then mass is released. The maximum extension of the spring in this case is
A
x/4
B
x / 2
C
x
D
2x.
Answer
2x.
Explanation
Solution
The amplitude of oscillations will be x, so the maximum extension will be 2x.
