Your Ultimate Guide to JEE & NEET Question Solutions

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

A

$3W$ will be farthest

B

$W$ will be farthest

C

All will be at the same distance

D

$2W$ 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.
