Two springs of constant $k_1$ and $k_2$ are joined in series. The effective spring constant of the combination is given by

As per the given figures,two springs of spring constants $K$ and $2K$ are connected to a mass $m$. If the period of oscillation in figure $(a)$ is $3 \text{ s}$,then the period of oscillation in figure $(b)$ will be $\sqrt{x} \text{ s}$. The value of $x$ is $.........$

$A$ mass of $2.0\, kg$ is placed on a flat pan attached to a vertical spring fixed on the ground as shown in the figure. The mass of the spring and the pan is negligible. When pressed slightly and released,the mass executes simple harmonic motion. The spring constant is $200\, N/m$. What should be the minimum amplitude of the motion so that the mass gets detached from the pan? (Take $g = 10\, m/s^2$)

$A$ particle of mass $m$ is attached to three identical massless springs of spring constant $k$ as shown in the figure. The time period of vertical oscillation of the particle is

$A$ solid sphere of mass $M$ and radius $R$ is attached to a spring of negligible mass kept on a horizontal plane such that it can roll without slipping. The sphere is made to execute $SHM$ by stretching it through a distance and releasing it. The time period of such oscillation is ($K=$ spring constant).

The total mechanical energy of a spring-mass system in simple harmonic motion is $E = \frac{1}{2}m\omega^2 A^2$. Suppose the oscillating particle is replaced by another particle of double the mass while the amplitude $A$ remains the same. The new mechanical energy will:
