B l o c k space 2 space i s space s h i f t e d space b y space a space s m a l l space d i s tan c e space x space t o space t h e
l e f t space a n d space t h e n space r e l e a s e d. space W h e n space b l o c k space 1 space b r e a k s space o f f space t h e space w a l l comma
v e l o c i t y space o f space c e n t r e space o f space m a s s space o f space t h e space s y s t e m space i s space

      1. fraction numerator square root of k x over denominator m subscript 1 plus m subscript 2 end fraction  
      2. fraction numerator square root of k m subscript 1 over denominator m subscript 1 plus m subscript 2 end fraction
      3. fraction numerator m subscript 1 x over denominator square root of k left parenthesis m subscript 1 plus m subscript 2 right parenthesis end subscript end fraction
      4. fraction numerator square root of k over denominator m subscript 1 x end fraction

      The correct answer is: fraction numerator square root of k x over denominator m subscript 1 plus m subscript 2 end fraction


        A t space t h e space t i m e space o f space b r e a k i n g space o f f comma space m subscript 2 space w l l space b e space m o v i n g space t o w a r d s space r i g h t space w i t h space v e l o c i t y space v space s u c h
