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 light vertical springs with equal natural lengths and spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ are separated by a distance $l$. Their upper ends are fixed to the ceiling and their lower ends to the ends $A$ and $B$ of a light horizontal rod $AB$. $A$ vertical downwards force $F$ is applied at point $C$ on the rod. $AB$ will remain horizontal in equilibrium if the distance $AC$ is

$A$ block of mass $2 \,kg$ is connected to an ideal spring and is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. The spring is pulled to move the block and at an instant, the speed of end $A$ of the spring and speed of the block were measured to be $6 \,m/s$ and $3 \,m/s$, respectively. At this moment, the potential energy stored in the spring is increasing at a rate of $15 \,J/s$. Find the acceleration of the block at this instant. (in $\,m/s^2$)
