Dear Sir/Madam I am unable to understand in questions, when to equate the forces and when to equate the work done by the respective forces in similar conditions. Example: An object of mass m is suspended with an unstretched vertical spring. Whem mass m is just released after connecting to the spring, what is the masimum elongation of the spring? In this question, 1. If I equate the net 'forces' acting on the mass after the total elongation i.e. mg= kx, I get x=mg/k 2. However if I equate the work done by gravitation force and spring force i.e. mgx=1/2kx^2, I get x = 2mg/x which is the answer. Kindly help me understand when to equate forces and work done in such questions?
