Q.

A rigid spring of spring constant k is fixed to the ceiling of a lift. The other end of the spring is attached to a block of mass m. The block hangs in equilibrium. Now the lift starts accelerating downwards with an acceleration 2g. [Assume the length of the spring to be large and its mass is negligible]. Now,
