The system shown in the figure is in equilibrium and at rest. The spring and string are massless. Now, the string is cut. The acceleration of mass $2m$ and $m$ just after the string is cut will be:

  • A
    $g/2$ upwards, $g$ downwards
  • B
    $g$ upwards, $g/2$ downwards
  • C
    $g$ upwards, $2g$ downwards
  • D
    $2g$ upwards, $g$ downwards

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:

Two blocks with masses $100 \text{ g}$ and $200 \text{ g}$ are attached to the ends of springs $A$ and $B$ as shown in the figure. The energy stored in spring $A$ is $E$. The energy stored in spring $B$, when the spring constants $k_{A}$ and $k_{B}$ of springs $A$ and $B$ respectively satisfy the relation $4k_{A} = 3k_{B}$, is:

Two springs $A$ and $B$ having spring constants $K_{A}$ and $K_{B}$ $(K_{A} = 2 K_{B})$ are stretched by applying forces of equal magnitude. If the energy stored in spring $A$ is $E_{A}$,then the energy stored in spring $B$ will be:

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
