Three weights $W, 2W$ and $3W$ are connected to identical springs suspended from a rigid horizontal rod. The assembly of the rod and the weights fall freely. The positions of the weights from the rod are such that
$3W$ will be farthest
$W$ will be farthest
All will be at the same distance
$2W$ will be farthest
Three weights $W, 2W$ and $3W$ are connected to identical springs suspended from a rigid horizontal rod. The assembly of the rod and the weights fall freely. The positions of the weights from the rod are such that
For $W, 2W, 3W$ apparent weight will be zero because the system is falling freely. So the distances of the weight from the rod will be same.
