3 In the arrangement shown in the fig the the spring and the thread are ideal The spring is stretched and the two blocks are in contact with a horizontal platform P When the platform is gradually moved up by 2 cm the tension in the string becomes zero If the platform is gradually moved down by 2 cm from its original position one of the blocks lose contact with the platform Given M 4 kg m 2 kg a Find the force constant k of the spring b If the platform continues to move down after one of the blocks loses contact will the other block also lose contact Assume that the platform moves very slowly
