$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is cut into two equal halves. The force constant of each half is

Two identical springs have the same force constant $73.5 \,Nm^{-1}$. The elongation produced in each spring in the three cases shown in Figure-$1$,Figure-$2$,and Figure-$3$ are (given $g=9.8 \,ms^{-2}$):

To the free end of a spring hanging from a rigid support,a block of mass $m$ is hung and slowly allowed to come to its equilibrium position. Then the stretching in the spring is $d$. If the same block is attached to the same spring and allowed to fall suddenly,the amount of maximum stretching is: (force constant,$k$)

Two masses of $10 \, kg$ and $20 \, kg$ respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $200 \, N$ acts on the $20 \, kg$ mass. At the instant shown,the $10 \, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $12 \, m/s^2$ towards the right. The acceleration of the $20 \, kg$ mass at this instant is ........ $m/s^2$.

Two light vertical springs with equal natural lengths and spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are separated by a distance $l$. Their upper ends are fixed to the ceiling and their lower ends to the ends $A$ and $B$ of a light horizontal rod $AB$. $A$ vertical downwards force $F$ is applied at point $C$ on the rod. $AB$ will remain horizontal in equilibrium if the distance $AC$ is

Fill in the blank: The force constant of a spring is $0.5 \, Nm^{-1}$. The force necessary to increase the length of the spring by $10 \, cm$ will be .......... (in $, N$)
