Two similar springs $P$ and $Q$ have spring constants $K_P$ and $K_Q$, such that $K_P > K_Q .$ They are stretched first by the same amount (case $a$), then by the same force (case $b$). The work done by the springs $W_P$ and $W_Q$ are related as, in case $(a)$ and case $(b)$ respectively

A ball of mass $2 \,m$ and a system of two balls with equal masses $m$ connected by a massless spring, are placed on a smooth horizontal surface (see figure below). Initially, the ball of mass $2 \,m$ moves along the line passing through the centres of all the balls and the spring, whereas the system of two balls is at rest. Assuming that the collision between the individual balls is perfectly elastic, the ratio of vibrational energy stored in the system of two connected balls to the initial kinetic energy of the ball of mass $2 \,m$ is

Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of mass $m$ and $2\, m$ respectively are placed on a smooth floor. They are connected by a spring of negligible mass. $A$ third body $C$ of mass $m$ is placed on the floor. The body $C$ moves with a velocity $v_0$ along the line joining $A$ and $B$ and collides elastically with $A$. At a certain time after the collision it is found that the instantaneous velocities of $A$ and $B$ are same and the compression of the spring is $x_0$. The spring constant $k$ will be

$A$ ball of mass $m$ is attached to the lower end of light vertical spring of force constant $k$. The upper end of the spring is fixed. The ball is released from rest with the spring at its normal (unstretched) length, comes to rest again after descending through a distance $x.$
