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
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
For W, 2W, 3W apparent weight will be zero because the system is falling freely. So the distances of the weight from the rod will be same.
