Consider two identical masses m attached to 3 identical springs as shown in the figure. They can be set in motion in two different ways as follows: (I) x₁(t)=x₀ t and x₂(t)=x₀ t (II) x₁(t)=x₀ t and x₂(t)=-x₀ t Here x₁(t) and x₂(t) denote the displacements from the unstretched positions. Then the potential energy stored in the system is
Options
- Alarger for I than II at t=0
- Blarger for I than II at t= /
- Cequal for I and II at t=0
- Dsmaller for I than II at t= 2 /
