उत्तर
(a) As it can be seen from the figure,
Restoring force = kx
Component of total weight of the two bodies acting vertically downwards = (m1 + m2) g sin θ
At equilibrium,
kx = (m1 + m2) g sin θ
\[\Rightarrow x = \frac{\left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g \sin \theta}{k}\]

(b) It is given that:
Distance at which the spring is pushed,
\[x_1 = \frac{2}{k}\left( m_1 + m_2 \right)g \sin \theta\]
As the system is released, it executes S.H.M.
where \[\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m_1 + m_2}}\]
When the blocks lose contact, P becomes zero. (P is the force exerted by mass m1 on mass m2)
\[\therefore m_2 g \sin \theta = m_2 x_2 \omega^2 = m_2 x_2 \times \frac{k}{m_1 + m_2}\] \[ \Rightarrow x_2 = \frac{\left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g \sin \theta}{k}\]
Therefore, the blocks lose contact with each other when the spring attains its natural length.
(c) Let v be the common speed attained by both the blocks.
\[\text { Total compression } = x_1 + x_2 \]
\[\frac{1}{2} \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) v^2 - 0 = \frac{1}{2}k \left( x_1 + x_2 \right)^2 - \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g \sin \theta \left( x + x_1 \right) \]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left( m_1 + m_2 \right) v^2 = \frac{1}{2}k\left( \frac{3}{k} \right) \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g \sin \theta - \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g \sin \theta \left( x_1 + x_2 \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}\left( m_1 + m_2 \right) v^2 = \frac{1}{2} \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g \sin \theta \times \left( \frac{3}{k} \right) \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) g sin \theta\]
\[ \Rightarrow v = \sqrt{\left\{ \frac{3}{k} \left( m_1 + m_2 \right) \right\}}g \sin \theta\]
