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

The block $A$ is pushed towards the wall by a distance $x$ and released. The normal reaction $N$ by the vertical wall on the block $B$ versus the compression $x$ in the spring is given by:

Initially,a spring is at its natural length. $A$ block of mass $2 \, kg$ is attached to the lower end,and a block of mass $0.25 \, kg$ is at the top. If the system is released from the position where the spring is at its natural length,find the maximum force exerted by the system on the floor? (in $N$,take $g = 10 \, m/s^2$)

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.

Assertion $(A)$: When a spring is cut into two equal parts,the spring constant of each piece is twice that of the original spring. Reason $(R)$: Spring constant is inversely proportional to the length of the spring.

$A$ massless spring gets elongated by an amount $x_1$ under a tension of $5 \ N$. Its elongation is $x_2$ under a tension of $7 \ N$. For an elongation of $(5x_1 - 2x_2)$,the tension in the spring will be: (in $N$)
