As shown in the figure, two masses of \(10~\text{kg}\) and \(20~\text{kg}\), respectively are connected by a massless spring. A force of \(200~\text{N}\) acts on the \(20~\text{kg}\) mass. At the instant shown, the \(10~\text{kg}\) mass has an acceleration of \(12~\text{m/s}^2\) towards the right. The acceleration of \(20~\text{kg}\) mass at this instant is:
          
1. \(12~\text{m/s}^2\)
2. \(4~\text{m/s}^2\)
3. \(10~\text{m/s}^2\)
4. zero

What is the acceleration of block A, if the acceleration of B is 4 $\mathrm{m}/{\mathrm{s}}^2$ towards the right at the instant shown?

                          
1. \(2.5~m/s^2\)
2. \(4~m/s^2\)
3. \(5~m/s^2\)
4. Zero

Three blocks A, B and C of mass 3M, 2M and M respectively are suspended vertically with the help of springs PQ and TU and a string RS as shown in fig. The acceleration of blocks A, B and C are $a_1,a_2 and a_3$ respectively.
     

The value of acceleration \(a_{1}\) at the moment string RS is cut will be: 

1. g downward

2. g upward

3. more than g downward

4. zero

Calculate the reading of the spring balance shown in the figure: (take \(g=10\) m/s²)
                

1. \(60\) N
2. \(40\) N
3. \(50\) N
4. \(80\) N

 The length of a spring is  \(l_1\) and \(l_2\) when stretched with a force of 4 N and 5 N respectively. Its natural length is?
