Two masses of $10 \, kg$ and $20 \, kg$ respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $200 \, N$ acts on the $20 \, kg$ mass. At the instant shown,the $10 \, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $12 \, m/s^2$ towards the right. The acceleration of the $20 \, kg$ mass at this instant is ........ $m/s^2$.

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

Two blocks $A$ and $B$ of masses $3\,m$ and $m$ respectively are connected by a massless and inextensible string. The whole system is suspended by a massless spring as shown in the figure. The magnitudes of acceleration of $A$ and $B$ immediately after the string is cut are respectively:

$A$ spring of force constant $k$ is cut into lengths of ratio $1:2:3$. They are connected in series and the new force constant is $k'$. Then they are connected in parallel and the force constant is $k''$. Then $k':k''$ is
