Two blocks are connected by a spring. The combination is suspended,at rest,from a string attached to the ceiling,as shown in the figure. The string breaks suddenly. Immediately after the string breaks,what is the initial downward acceleration of the upper block of mass $2m$?

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $3g/2$
  • C
    $g$
  • D
    $2g$

$A$ spring with $10$ coils has spring constant $k$. It is exactly cut into two halves,then each of these new springs will have a spring constant

$A$ small block of mass $100\,g$ is tied to a spring of spring constant $7.5\,N/m$ and natural length $20\,cm$. The other end of the spring is fixed at a point $A$. If the block moves in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with a constant angular velocity of $5\,rad/s$ about point $A$,then the tension in the spring is $.........\,N$.

$A$ simple spring has length '$l$' and force constant '$K$'. It is cut into two springs of length '$l_1$' and '$l_2$' such that $l_1 = n l_2$ ($n$ is an integer). The force constant of the spring of length '$l_1$' is:

In the figure,blocks $A$ (mass $2m$) and $B$ (mass $m$) are connected with a string and the system is suspended vertically with the help of a spring. The spring has negligible mass. Find the magnitude of the acceleration of masses $2m$ and $m$ just after the instant when the string is cut.

The figure shows two cases. In the first case,a spring (spring constant $K$) is pulled by two equal and opposite forces $F$ at both ends. In the second case,it is pulled by a force $F$ at one end while the other end is fixed. The extensions $(x)$ in the springs will be:
