A particle of mass 0.3 kg is subjected to a force F = –kx with k = 15 N/m. What will be its initial acceleration if it is released from a point 20 cm away from the origin

(1) 5 m/s²

(2) 10 m/s²

(3) 3 m/s²

(4) 15 m/s²

A man is standing at a spring platform. Reading of spring balance is 60 kg-wt. If a man jumps outside the platform, then reading of spring balance:

(1) first increases then decrease to zero.

(2) decreases.

(3) increases.

(4) remains same.

A body of mass 5 kg is suspended by a spring balance on a smooth inclined plane as shown in the figure. The spring balance measure:

(1) 50 N

(2) 25 N

(3) 500 N

(4) 10 N

A block of mass 4 kg is suspended through two light spring balances A and B. Then A and B will read respectively 

(1) 4 kg and zero kg

(2) Zero kg and 4 kg

(3) 4 kg and 4 kg

(4) 2 kg and 2 kg
