One end of a slack wire (Young's modulus $Y$,length $L$ and cross-sectional area $A$) is clamped to a rigid wall and the other end to a block (mass $m$),which rests on a smooth horizontal plane. The block is set in motion with a speed $v$. What is the maximum distance the block will travel after the wire becomes taut?

  • A
    $v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{A Y}}$
  • B
    $v \sqrt{\frac{2 m L}{A Y}}$
  • C
    $v \sqrt{\frac{m L}{2 A Y}}$
  • D
    $L \sqrt{\frac{m v}{A Y}}$
