$A$ bead of mass $m = 100 \,g$ is attached to one end of a spring of natural length $L$ and spring constant $k = \frac{(\sqrt{3}+1) mg}{L}$. The other end of the spring is fixed at point $A$ on a smooth vertical ring of radius $R$. The bead is at point $B$ such that the spring makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal diameter. The normal reaction at $B$ just after it is released to move is (take $g = 9.8 \,ms^{-2}$): (in $\,N$)

The force required to stretch a spring varies with the distance as shown in the figure. If the experiment is performed with the above spring of half length,the line $OA$ will

Two masses of $10\, kg$ and $20\, kg$ respectively are connected by a massless spring as shown in the figure. $A$ force of $200\, N$ acts on the $20\, kg$ mass. At the instant when the $10\, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $12\, m\, s^{-2}$,the acceleration of the $20\, kg$ mass is ...... $m\, s^{-2}$.

The figure shows two cases. In the first case,a spring (spring constant $K$) is pulled by two equal and opposite forces $F$ at both ends. In the second case,it is pulled by a force $F$ at one end while the other end is fixed. The extensions $(x)$ in the springs will be:

Two blocks with masses $100 \text{ g}$ and $200 \text{ g}$ are attached to the ends of springs $A$ and $B$ as shown in the figure. The energy stored in spring $A$ is $E$. The energy stored in spring $B$, when the spring constants $k_{A}$ and $k_{B}$ of springs $A$ and $B$ respectively satisfy the relation $4k_{A} = 3k_{B}$, is:
