$A$ bead of mass $m = 100 \,g$ is attached to one end of a spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $k = \frac{(\sqrt{3}+1) mg}{L}$. The other end of the spring is fixed at point $A$ on a smooth vertical ring of radius $R$. The bead is at point $B$ such that the spring makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal diameter. The normal reaction at $B$ just after it is released to move is (take $g = 9.8 \,ms^{-2}$): (in $\,N$)

  • A
    $1.73$
  • B
    $2.23$
  • C
    $2.44$
  • D
    $2.55$

Two springs of spring constants $1500 \ N/m$ and $3000 \ N/m$ respectively are stretched with the same force. They will have potential energy in the ratio

Two springs,$P$ and $Q$,of force constants $k_P$ and $k_Q$ (where $k_Q = k_P / 2$) are stretched by applying forces of equal magnitude. If the energy stored in $Q$ is $E$,then the energy stored in $P$ is:

$A$ body of mass $m$ is tied to one end of a spring and whirled round in a horizontal plane with a constant angular velocity. The elongation in the spring is $1 \, cm$. If the angular velocity is doubled,the elongation in the spring is $5 \, cm$. The original length of the spring is ............ $cm$.
