The time period of simple harmonic motion of mass $M$ in the given figure is $\pi \sqrt{\frac{\alpha M}{5 K}}$,where the value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ weightless spring of length $60\, cm$ and force constant $200\, N/m$ is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. $A$ mass of $0.25\, kg$ is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass is

The effective spring constant of the two-spring system as shown in the figure will be:

$A$ block $P$ of mass $m$ is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ block $Q$ of same mass is placed over the block $P$ and the coefficient of static friction between them is $\mu_S$. $A$ spring of spring constant $K$ is attached to block $Q$. The blocks are displaced together to a distance $A$ and released. The upper block oscillates without slipping over the lower block. The maximum frictional force between the blocks is

Two identical springs of constant $K$ are connected in series and parallel as shown in the figure. $A$ mass $M$ is suspended from them. The ratio of their frequencies in series to parallel combination will be

$A$ particle of mass $1 \, \text{kg}$ is hanging from a spring of force constant $100 \, \text{N/m}$. The mass is pulled slightly downward and released so that it executes free simple harmonic motion with time period $T$. The time when the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system will become equal is $\frac{T}{x}$. The value of $x$ is ..... .
