Three weights $W, 2W$ and $3W$ are connected to identical springs suspended from a rigid horizontal rod. The assembly of the rod and the weights fall freely. The positions of the weights from the rod are such that
$3W$ will be farthest
$W$ will be farthest
All will be at the same distance
$2W$ will be farthest
Write important guidance for solving problems in mechanics.
A rope of length $5\,m$ is kept on frictionless surface and a force of $5\,N$ is applied to one of its end. Find tension in the rope at $1\,m $ from this end ......... $N$
Calculate $T_1$ and $T_2$
Figure shows two cases. In first case a spring (spring constant $K$ ) is pulled by two equal and opposite forces $F$ at both ends and in second case is pulled by a force $F$ at one end. Extensions $(x)$ in the springs will be
