A

zero

B

purely kinetic

C

purely potential

D

particly kinetic and particle potential

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

After 2s ,tubes will overlap each other .Acording to superpossition priciple, the string will not have any distoration and will be straight Hence, here will be no PE the total energy will be kinetic.
