A spring is subjected to two different forces separately. When a force of \(3 ~\text N\) is applied, the spring elongates by \(a\) units, and when a force of \(2 ~\text N\) is applied, the elongation is \(b\) units. What is the value of \((2a – 3b) \text{?}\)
1. \(5\)
2. \(0\)

Two \(1~\text{kg}\) blocks are connected by a light inextensible string and the system is suspended by a spring of stiffness \(1000~\text{N/m}.\) Take \(g=10~\text{m/s}^2.\)

The extension in the spring, in equilibrium, is:
1. \(1~\text{cm}\) 2. \(2~\text{cm}\)
3. \(0.5~\text{cm}\) 4. \(\sqrt2~\text{cm}\)
