Masses of $10\, kg$ and $20\, kg$ 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 shown,the $10\, kg$ mass has an acceleration of $12\, m/s^2$. What is the acceleration of the $20\, kg$ mass in $m/s^2$?

  • A
    $12$
  • B
    $4$
  • C
    $10$
  • D
    $0$

Two blocks $1$ and $2$ of equal mass $m$ are connected by an ideal string over a frictionless pulley. The blocks are attached to the ground by springs having spring constants $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that $k_1 > k_2$. Initially,both springs are unstretched. Block $1$ is slowly pulled down a distance $x$ and released. Just after the release,the possible values of the magnitudes of the accelerations of the blocks $a_1$ and $a_2$ can be
