(N/A) $1$. Example of a variable force: The gravitational force between two objects as their distance changes,or the spring force $F = -kx$ where the force depends on the displacement $x$.
$2$. Formula for Hooke's law: $F = -kx$,where $F$ is the restoring force,$k$ is the spring constant,and $x$ is the displacement from the equilibrium position.

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 springs having spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are connected in series,their resultant spring constant is $2 \text{ unit}$. If they are connected in parallel,their resultant spring constant is $9 \text{ unit}$. Find the values of $k_1$ and $k_2$.

$A$ block is attached to a spring as shown and very gradually lowered so that finally the spring expands by $d$. If the same block is attached to the spring and released suddenly,then the maximum expansion in the spring will be:

Initially,the spring is at its natural length and both blocks are at rest. Determine the maximum extension in the spring. Given $k = 20 \ N/m$,$m_1 = 0.5 \ kg$,$m_2 = 1 \ kg$,and $F = 1 \ N$.

When the acceleration of the $5\ kg$ block is $2\ m/s^2$ as shown in the figure,what will be the acceleration of the $15\ kg$ block? (in $m/s^2$)
