Step 3 of 5

When the collar reaches (C), the spring will get compressed.

Calculate the length of spring in its initial position at point .

(Since, forms a right angled triangle) …… (2)

Here, the unstretched length of the spring is and the distance between the points and
is .

Calculate the deformed length of spring when it reaches the point .

Substitute the value of (equation (2)) in the above equation.

Step 4 of 5

Now calculate the work done to compress the spring

Here, the spring constant is .

Substitute the value of (equation (3)) in the above equation.

Step 5 of 5

Apply “Work-Energy principle” to the system under consideration.

According to “Work-Energy principle” the change in kinetic energy (equation (1)) equal to work
done to compress the spring (equation (4))

Thus, the magnitude of velocity of the collar at , , is
