A force F applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure (b) shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass m at either end. Each end of the spring in Fig. (b) is stretched by the same force F. (a) What is the maximum extension of the spring in the two cases ? (b) If the mass in Fig (a) and the two masses in Fig (b) are released, what is the period of oscillation in each case ?

In Millikan's oil drop experiment The cylindrical tube of a spray pump has a cross-section of 8.0 cm^2 one end of which has 40 fine holes each of diameter 1.0 mm. If the liquid flow inside the tube is 1.5 m min^−1 Two narrow bores of diameters 3.0mm and 6.0 mm are joined together to form a U-shaped tube open at both ends. If the U-tube contains water what is the speed of ejection of the liquid through the holes ?
