Question 1
27 Jun 2022
94One end of a massless spring of spring constant and natural length is fixed while the other end is connected to a small object of mass lying on a frictionless table. The spring remains horizontal on the table. If the object is made to rotate at an angular velocity about an axis passing through fixed end, then the elongation of the spring will be:Tap an option to check your answer.

109A body of mass is tied to a spring of spring constant , while the other end of spring is fixed at point 0. If the body moves about 0 in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular speed . Then the ratio of extension in the spring to its natural length will be:Tap an option to check your answer.
Question 3

7A small block of mass is tied to a spring of spring constant and length . The other end of spring is fixed at a particular point A. If the block moves in a circular path on a smooth horizontal surface with constant angular velocity about point , then tension in the spring isTap an option to check your answer.
