In each of three figure shown, two blocks are connected by a light spring and the system is placed on smooth horizontal surface. A constant horizontal force of magnitude F is applied to left block as shown. Assuming spring constant in all three cases to be same, which of the following statements is/are true.

A

maximum compression in spring 1 is greater than that in spring 2.

B

maximum compression in spring 3 is greater than that in spring 1

C

maximum compression in spring 3 is greater than that in spring 2.

D

maximum compression in all spring is equal.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C
The maximum compression in spring for shown situation is
`(2m_(2)F)/((m_(1)+m_(2))K)`
Since `(m_(1)+m_(2))K` is same for all situations, the compression is maximum for spring 3 and least for spring 2.
