A block of mass m is placed between two springs connected to the ends of a railroad car. The surface supporting the block is horizontal, and the spring are initially relaxed. The car is given an acceleration a and the mass m finally comes to equilibrium within the car. Let x be the compression (or extension) in the two springs. Assume friction to be negligible. Then:
1. k1xk2x=ma
2. k1k2k1+k2x=ma
3. k1x+k2x=ma
4. k1k2k1k2=ma

A massless and inextensible string connects two blocks A and B of masses 3m and m, respectively. The whole system is suspended by a massless spring, as shown in the figure. The magnitudes of acceleration of A and B immediately after the string is cut, are respectively:
         

1. g3,g 2. g,g
3. g3,g3 4. g,g3
