whenever u find such questions replace m of spring by m/3 ..now see how to do it.
k.e=1/2mv^2
the velocity of a point dx at a distance x from the rigid support will be vx/l.
let w=m/l(linear mass density)
so k.e of particle at x distance of dx thickness=1/2* w*dx*(vx/l)^2
int we get
k.e=1/2 *(m/3)*v^2

fucking hate the way indians answer questions.... “replace m of spring by m/3” -like its sorcery

We can find the effective mass of the spring by finding its kinetic energy. This requires adding all the length elements' kinetic energy, and requires the following integral:

T =\int_m\frac{1}{2}u^2\,dm

Since the spring is uniform, dm=\left(\frac{dy}{L}\right)m, where L is the length of the spring. Hence,

=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{L}\int_0^L u^2\,dy T = \int_0^L\frac{1}{2}u^2\left(\frac{dy}{L}\right)m\!

The velocity of each mass element of the spring is directly proportional to its length, i.e. u=\frac{vy}{L}, from which it follows:

 

T =\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{L}\int_0^L\left(\frac{vy}{L}\right)^2\,dy

 

=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{L^3}v^2\int_0^L y^2\,dy

 

=\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{L^3}v^2\left[\frac{y^3}{3}\right]_0^L hence the answer =\frac{1}{2}\frac{m}{3}v^2

This is a very important concept of mass spring otherwise all the things done in our early classes of 11th is of mass Le spring but this is a very good question there is a very yes or no explanation of IT in mini box as this concept is widely used in olympiads level hope you understand about it
