Two massless springs of spring constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ are connected in series,suspended vertically,and a certain mass is attached to the free end. If $e_1$ and $e_2$ are their respective extensions and $f$ is the stretching force,the total extension produced is:

$A$ spring has a spring constant $k$ and original length $l$. If it is cut into pieces in the ratio $\alpha : \beta : \gamma$,find the spring constant of each piece in terms of the original spring constant $k$ (where $\alpha, \beta$,and $\gamma$ are integers).

When a weight is applied to a spring,it stretches by an amount $x$. What is the energy stored in it? ($T$ is the tension force developed in the spring and $k$ is the spring constant.)

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 blocks each of mass $m$ are connected to a spring of spring constant $k.$ If both are given velocity $v$ in opposite directions,then the maximum elongation of the spring is
