Three identical balls are suspended on springs one below the other as shown in the figure. is a weightless thread. The balls are in equilibrium
(a) If the thread is cut, the system starts falling. Find the acceleration of all the balls at the initial instant
(b) Find the initial accelerations of all the balls if we cut the spring , which is supporting ball , instead of cutting the thread.

Man of mass pushes the other man of mass due to which man starts moving with acceleration . Calculate the acceleration of man at that instant.
