Same spring is attached with 2 kg, 3 kg and 1 kg blocks in three different cases as shown in figure. If x1 , x2, x3 be the extensions in the spring in the three cases, then
x1 = 0, x3 > x2
x1 > x2 > x3
x3 > x2 > x1
x2 > x1 > x3
D.
x2 > x1 > x3
If T1, T2, T3 are the tensions in the strings in the three cases.
We have
T1 =
=
T1 = 2g
T2 =
T2 = 2.4 g
T3 =
T3 = 1.33 g
As
x ∝ T
and T2 > T1 > T3
∴ x2 > x1 > x3
