Question
Two blocks are connected by a spring. The combination is suspended, at rest, from a string attached to the ceiling, as shown in the figure. The string breaks suddenly. Immediately after the string breaks, what is the initial downward acceleration of the upper block of mass 2 m ?
- 0
- g
- 3 g/2
- 2 g
The correct answer is: 3 g/2
