Three blocks A, B, and C of masses $$3M$$,$$2M$$, and M are suspended vertically with the help of springs PQ and TU, and a string RS as shown in figure. If the acceleration of blocks A, B, and C is $$a1$$, $$a2$$, and $$a3$$, respectively, thenThe value of acceleration $$a3$$ at the moment spring PQ is cut isThe value of acceleration $$a1$$ at the moment string RS is cut isThe value of acceleration $$a2$$ at the moment spring TU is cut is

Question

Force in spring can't change abruptly whereas tension in string can change.When PQ is cut, no effect on the forces acting on C, hence its acceleration remains zero.Tension in PQ is $$6$$ Mg before cutting RS.After cutting RS, $$a1=6Mg$$−$$3Mg3M=gAfter$$ TU is $$cuta1=a2=6Mg$$−$$3Mg$$−$$2Mg5M=g/5Force$$ in spring can't change abruptly whereas tension in string can change.When PQ is cut, no effect on the forces acting on C, hence its acceleration remains zero.Tension in PQ is $$6$$ Mg before cutting RS.After cutting RS, $$a1=6Mg$$−$$3Mg3M=gAfter$$ TU is $$cuta1=a2=6Mg$$−$$3Mg$$−$$2Mg5M=g/5Force$$ in spring can't change abruptly whereas tension in string can change.When PQ is cut, no effect on the forces acting on C, hence its acceleration remains zero.Tension in PQ is $$6$$ Mg before cutting RS.After cutting RS, $$a1=6Mg$$−$$3Mg3M=gAfter$$ TU is $$cuta1=a2=6Mg$$−$$3Mg$$−$$2Mg5M=g/5$$
