Two blocks of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ are connected by a spring of spring constant $k$,initially at their natural length as shown. $A$ sharp impulse is given to mass $m_2$ so that it acquires a velocity $v_0$ towards the right. If the system is kept on a smooth floor,find the maximum elongation that the spring will suffer.

  • A
    $v_0 \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{k({m_1} + {m_2})}}} $
  • B
    $v_0 \sqrt {\frac{{({m_1} + {m_2})}}{{k{m_1}{m_2}}}} $
  • C
    $v_0 \sqrt {\frac{{2{m_1}{m_2}}}{{k({m_1} + {m_2})}}} $
  • D
    $2v_0 \sqrt {\frac{{{m_1}{m_2}}}{{k({m_1} + {m_2})}}} $
