As we learnt in

If only conservative forces act on a system, total mechnical energy remains constant -

K+U=E\left ( constant \right )

\Delta K+\Delta U=0

\Delta K=-\Delta U

-

 

 Let initial velocity of block is v then initial energy =\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}

Final potential energy =\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

From energy conservation 

\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}=\frac{1}{2}kx^{2}

\therefore\ v=\sqrt{}\frac{k}{m}.x\ \because x=L

\Rightarrow   \Rightarrow\ maximum\ v =(\frac{\sqrt{} k}{m})L

Therefore maximum momentum = mv

    =\sqrt{}{mkL}

Correct answer is 3

 


Option 1)

Zero

Option 2)

\frac{ML^{2}}{K}

Option 3)
