Consider a frictionless ramp on which a smooth object is made to slide down from an initial height $h$. The distance $d$ necessary to stop the object on a flat track (of coefficient of friction $\mu$), kept at the ramp end, is:

  • A
    $h / \mu$
  • B
    $h \mu$
  • C
    $\mu^2 h$
  • D
    $h^2 \mu$

$A$ and $B$ are blocks of same mass $m$ exactly equivalent to each other. Both are placed on a frictionless surface connected by a spring. The natural length of the spring is $L$ and the force constant is $K$. Initially,the spring is at its natural length. Another equivalent block $C$ of mass $m$ travelling at speed $v$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ collides with $A$. In an ideal condition,the maximum compression of the spring is:
