A block of mass 2 kg is attached to one end of a massless spring whose other end is fixed at a wall. The spring-mass system moves on a frictionless horizontal table. The spring's natural length is 2 m and spring constant is 200 N/m. The block is pushed such that the length of the spring becomes 1 m and then released. At distance x m (x < 2) from the wall, the speed of the block will be

1. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ] 12 m/s
2. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ] 32 m/s
3. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ] m/s
4. 10 [1 - (2 - x)2 ]2 m/s

Two simple pendulums having lengths l1 and l2 with negligible string mass undergo angular displacements 1 and 2, from their mean positions, respectively. If the angular accelerations of both pendulums are same, then which expression is correct?

2. 1 l1 = 2 l2
3. 1 l22 = 2 l12
4. 1 l12 = 2 l22
