MCQ
Three weights $W, 2W$ and $3W$ are connected to identical springs suspended from a rigid horizontal rod. The assembly of the rod and the weights fall freely. The positions of the weights from the rod are such that
  • A
    $3W$ will be farthest
  • B
    $W$ will be farthest
  • ✓
    All will be at the same distance
  • D
    $2W$ will be farthest
✓

Answer

Correct option: C.
All will be at the same distance
c
(c)For $W, 2W, 3W$ apparent weight will be zero because the system is falling freely. So the distances of the weight from the rod will be same.
