A spring block system is in a lift moving upwards with acceleration a = g/2. Block has mass m and spring constant is k. Assuming ideal conditions-
A
Time period of SHM depends on a
B
Time period of SHM is independent of a
C
In mean position elongation in spring is 
D
In mean position elongation in spring is 
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(b, c)
Here time period T = 
independent of g and a and if mean position elongation is x 0
then, Kx 0 = m (g + a) = m 
Kx 0 = 
x 0 =
