As shown in the following figures block of mass 2 kg is in equilibrium in the vertical plane.

At a certain instant right spring in case-1 and right string in case-2 are cut. Then the ratio of instantaneous acceleration of block in case-1 to case-2 just after the cutting is -
(strings and springs are ideal)
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C

2 T sin 370 0 = 20
2 T ×
= 20
T =
N
Now when spring in cut in case – 1 then net force F 1 acting on block is
F 1 =
=
N
and when string is cut in cse-2 then net force F 2 acting on block is F 2 = 20 ×
= 16 N
=
×
=
=
