Question

Two blocks A and B of masses 2m and m, respectively are connected by a massless and inextensible string. The whole system is suspended by a massless spring as shown in the figure. The magnitudes of acceleration of A and B immediately after the string is cut, are respectively 
 

Moderate
Solution

Acceleration of B = g
mas=mgas=g  For block A 2maA=mg  acceleration of A is aA=g/2 aA=g/2
