Two bodies $A$ and $B$ of equal mass are suspended from two separate massless springs of spring constants $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The two bodies oscillate vertically such that their maximum velocities are equal. The ratio of the amplitude of $B$ to that of $A$ is

In the given figure,a body of mass $M$ is held between two massless springs on a smooth inclined plane. The free ends of the springs are attached to firm supports. If each spring has a spring constant $k,$ the frequency of oscillation of the given body is:

$A$ block of mass $1 \ kg$ is fastened to a spring of spring constant $100 \ N \ m^{-1}$. The block is pulled to a distance $x = 10 \ cm$ from its equilibrium position $(x = 0 \ cm)$ on a frictionless surface,from rest at $t = 0$. The kinetic energy and the potential energy of the block when it is $5 \ cm$ away from the mean position are:
