Two springs with negligible masses and force constants $K_1 = 200\, Nm^{-1}$ and $K_2 = 160\, Nm^{-1}$ are attached to a block of mass $m = 10\, kg$ as shown in the figure. Initially,the block is at rest at the equilibrium position where both springs are neither stretched nor compressed. At time $t = 0$,a sharp impulse of $50\, Ns$ is given to the block with a hammer.

  • A
    Period of oscillations for the mass $m$ is $\frac{\pi}{3} \, s.$
  • B
    Maximum velocity of the mass $m$ during its oscillation is $5\, ms^{-1}.$
  • C
    Data are insufficient to determine maximum velocity.
  • D
    $(A)$ and $(B)$ both.
