Two springs of force constants $2k$ and $k$ are connected to a mass $m$ as shown. The mass is displaced slightly to one side and released. The frequency of oscillation of the two springs-mass system is

$A$ block is resting on a piston which executes simple harmonic motion with a period $2.0 \, s$. The maximum velocity of the piston,at an amplitude just sufficient for the block to separate from the piston,is .......... $m \, s^{-1}$.

$A$ coin is placed on a horizontal platform. The platform performs vertical simple harmonic motion with an angular frequency $\omega$. The amplitude of oscillation is gradually increased. At what condition will the coin first lose contact with the platform?

$A$ $5\; kg$ collar is attached to a spring of spring constant $500\; N m^{-1}$. It slides without friction over a horizontal rod. The collar is displaced from its equilibrium position by $10.0\; cm$ and released. Calculate
$(a)$ the period of oscillation.
$(b)$ the maximum speed and
$(c)$ maximum acceleration of the collar.

$A$ spring stretches by $2 \text{ mm}$ when it is loaded with a mass of $200 \text{ g}$. From the equilibrium position, the mass is further pulled down by $2 \text{ mm}$ and released. The frequency associated with the system and the maximum energy in the spring are . . . . . . $\text{Hz}$ and . . . . . . $\text{J}$, respectively. (Take $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$)

As shown in the figure,$S_1$ and $S_2$ are identical springs with spring constant $K$ each. The oscillation frequency of the mass $m$ is $f$. If the spring $S_2$ is removed,the oscillation frequency will become
