A small block having charge
placed on a frictionless horizontal table is attached to one end of a spring of force constant
. The other end of the spring is attached to a fixed support and the spring stays horizontally in relaxed state. Another small block carrying a negative charge
is brought very slowly from a great distance towards the
former block along the line coinciding the axis of the spring.
Find extension in the spring when both the blocks collide.
