$A$ source of sound $S$ in the form of a block kept on a smooth horizontal surface is connected to a spring, as shown in the figure. If the spring oscillates with an amplitude of $50 \,cm$ along the horizontal between the wall and the observer $O$, the maximum frequency heard by the observer is $12.5 \%$ more than the minimum frequency heard by him. If the mass of the source of sound is $100 \,g$, the force constant of the spring is (Speed of sound in air is $340 \,ms^{-1}$) (in $\,N m^{-1}$)
