4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
medium
Block of $3\; kg$ is initially in equilibrium and is hanging by two identical springs $A$ and $B$ as shown in figures. If spring $A$ is cut from lower point at $t=0$ then, find acceleration of block in $ms^{^{-2}}$ at $t = 0.$
A$5$
B$10$
C$15$
D$0$
Solution

$\therefore \quad 2 F=3 g \quad \Longrightarrow F=1.5 g$
Finally: $m a=m g-F$
$\therefore 3 a=3 g-1.5 g$ $\left(g=10 m / s^{2}\right)$
$\Longrightarrow a=0.5 g=5 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
