    A block lying on a smooth surface with spring connected to it is pulled by an external force as shown. Initially the velocity of ends A and B of the spring are 4 m/s and 2 m/s respectively. If the energy of the spring is increasing at the rate of 20 J/sec, then the stretch in the spring is Critical Thinking

    A) 1.0 cm

    B) 2.0 cm

    C) 10 cm

    D) 2.0 cm

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] Let \[{{\operatorname{x}}_{A}} and {{x}_{B}}\]be the position of ends A and B at time (from the block, then stretched length of the spring will be \[{{l}_{2}}={{x}_{A}}-{{x}_{B}}\] and so the stretch \[\Delta \ell ={{\ell }_{2}}-{{\ell }_{1}}=({{x}_{A}}-{{x}_{B}})-{{\ell }_{1}}({{\ell }_{1}}\]natural length of the spring) So, \[U=\frac{1}{2}k\Delta {{\ell }^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}k{{[({{x}_{A}}-{{x}_{B}})-{{\ell }_{1}}]}^{2}}\] \[P=\frac{dU}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}k.2({{x}_{A}}-{{x}_{B}}-{{\ell }_{1}})\left( \frac{d{{x}_{A}}}{dt}-\frac{d{{x}_{B}}}{dt} \right)\]\[P=F\left( {{v}_{A}}-{{v}_{B}} \right)F=\frac{d{{x}_{A}}}{{{v}_{A}}-{{v}_{B}}}\] \[\Delta \ell =\frac{F}{k}=\frac{P}{({{v}_{A}}-{{v}_{B}})}=\frac{20}{4-2\times 100}\] \[\Delta \ell =0.1m=10\,cm\]
