$A$ massless platform is kept on a light elastic spring as shown in the figure. When a sand particle of mass $0.1 \; kg$ is dropped on the pan from a height of $0.24 \; m$,the particle strikes the pan and the spring is compressed by $0.01 \; m$. From what height should the particle be dropped to cause a compression of $0.04 \; m$ (in $; m$)?

  • A
    $3.96$
  • B
    $5.25$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $6.2$

$A$ bungee jumper is jumping with the help of an elastic ideal rope (force constant $K$). The jumper steps off the bridge and falls from rest towards the river below. He does not hit the water. The mass of the jumper is $m$,and the natural length of the rope is $l$. Gravity is $g$. Assuming everything is ideal,choose the incorrect option.

The force constants of two springs are $K_1$ and $K_2$. Both are stretched until their elastic potential energies are equal. If the stretching forces applied are $F_1$ and $F_2$,then the ratio $F_1:F_2$ is:
