ntThere are two cases. In the first case a spring (spring constant k) is pulled by two equal and opposite forces F at both ends and in second case one end of spring is fixed to a rigid support and other end is pulled by a force F. Extensions (x) in the string will ben

Q. Figure shows a spring of force constant k fixed at one end carrying a mass m at the other end placed on a horizontal frictionless surface. The spring is stretched by a force F. Figure (ii)show the same spring with both ends free and a mass m fixed at each free end. The same force F stretches each of the spring. The mass in case(i) and the masses in cases (ii) are then released. Which of the following statements is/are true?

Q. Figure (a) attached shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. (b) is stretched by the same force F.
(a) What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases ?
(b) If the mass in Fig (a) and the two masses in Fig (b) are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case ?

Figure 14.30 (a) shows a spring of force constant k clamped rigidly at one end and a mass m attached to its free end. A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure 14.30 (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. 14.30(b) is stretched by the same force F.

(a) What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases?

(b) If the mass in Fig. (a) and the two masses in Fig. (b) are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case?

Q. One end of a light spring of spring constant k is fixed to a wall and the other end is tied to a block placed on a smooth horizontal surface. In a displacement, the work done by the spring is
