When a wire is stretched and its radius becomes $\frac {r}{2}$. then its resistance will be

A copper wire of length $1\, m$ and radius $1\, mm$ is joined in series with an iron wire of length $2\, m$ and radius $3\, mm$ and a current is passed through the wires. The ratio of the current density in the copper and iron wires is

A block of mass $m$ is connected to another block of mass $M$ by a spring (massless) of spring constant $k$. The blocks are kept on a smooth horizontal plane. Initially the blocks are at rest and the spring is unstretched. Then a constant force $F$ starts acting on the block of mass $M$ to pull it. Find the force on the block of mass $m$
