Two blocks A and B of masses and respectively, are connected by a massless and inextensible string. 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,

g, g
To solve this problem, we need to determine the accelerations of blocks A and B immediately after the string is cut.Initially, the system is in equilibrium, so the spring force balances the gravitational force on the entire system.When the string is cut, block B is no longer supported by block A, and both blocks will experience free fall.Let's analyze each block separately:1. Block A (mass ):• After the string is cut, block A is only acted upon by gravity.
