$A$ particle of mass $4 \,kg$ moves simple harmonically such that its potential energy $U$ varies with position $x$ as shown in the figure. The period of oscillations is ............

$A$ body executes simple harmonic motion under the action of a force $F_1$ with a time period $T_1 = \frac{4}{5} \ s$. If the force is changed to $F_2$, it executes $SHM$ with a time period $T_2 = \frac{3}{5} \ s$. If both the forces $F_1$ and $F_2$ act simultaneously in the same direction on the body, what will be its new time period in seconds?

The potential energy of a particle of mass $10 \ g$ as a function of displacement $x$ is $(50 x^2 + 100) \ J$. The frequency of oscillation is
