The length of a spring is $l$ and its force constant is $k$. When a weight $W$ is suspended from it, its length increases by $x$. If the spring is cut into two equal parts and put in parallel and the same weight $W$ is suspended from them, then the extension will be
  • A$2x$
  • B$x$
  • C$\frac{x}{2}$
  • D$\frac{x}{4}$

    An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass $M$. The piston and the cylinder have equal cross sectional area $A$. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is $V_0$ and its pressure is $P_ 0$. The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
