As we learnt in

Spring force -

F= -Kx

- wherein

K=\left | \frac{F}{x} \right |= \frac{N}{m}

 

 

 

F=\: -\: k\: x

or \: \: \: F= -15\times \left ( \frac{20}{100} \right )= -3 N

Initial acceleration is over come by retarding force.

or \: \: \: m\times \left ( acceleration\: a \right )= 3

or \: \: \: a= \frac{3}{m}= \frac{3}{0.3}= 10ms^{-2}

Correct option is 2.


Option 1)

5\: m/s^{2}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 2)

10\: m/s^{2}

This is the correct option.

Option 3)

3\: m/s^{2}

This is an incorrect option.

Option 4)

15\: m/s^{2}

This is an incorrect option.
