An ideal spring with spring-constant $K$ is hung from the ceiling and a block of mass $M$ is attached to its lower end. The mass is released with the spring initially unstretched. Then the maximum extension in the spring is

  • A
    $4 Mg/K$
  • B
    $2 Mg/K$
  • C
    $Mg/K$
  • D
    $Mg/2K$

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 balls $A$ and $B$ of masses $100 \ gm$ and $250 \ gm$ are connected by a stretched massless spring and placed on a smooth table. When the balls are released simultaneously,the initial acceleration of ball $B$ is $10 \ cm/s^2$ towards the west. Find the magnitude and direction of the initial acceleration of ball $A$.

The length of a spring is $\alpha$ when a force of $4\,N$ is applied on it and the length is $\beta$ when $5\,N$ force is applied. Then the length of the spring when $9\,N$ force is applied is
