Question

Three identical blocks are suspended on two identical springs one below the other as shown in figure. If thread is cut that supports block 1 , then initially (choose one alternative only):

  1. The third block falls with zero acceleration    
  2. The first block falls with maximum acceleration    
  3. both (A) and (B) are wrong    
  4. both (A) and (B) are correct    

The correct answer is: both (A) and (B) are correct
