Two identical springs of constant $K$ are connected in series and parallel as shown in the figure. $A$ mass $M$ is suspended from them. The ratio of their frequencies in series to parallel combination will be

Three blocks of masses $700 \,g$,$500 \,g$,and $400 \,g$ are suspended at the end of a spring as shown in the figure and are in equilibrium. When the $700 \,g$ block is removed,the system has a period of oscillation of $3 \,s$. If both $700 \,g$ and $500 \,g$ blocks are removed,the period of oscillation becomes

If a vertical mass-spring system is taken to the moon,what will happen to its time period?

$A$ body of mass $m$ is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The mass of the spring is negligible. When the mass $m$ is pulled down slightly and released,it oscillates with a time period of $3 \ s$. When the mass $m$ is increased by $1 \ kg$,the time period of oscillation becomes $5 \ s$. What is the value of $m$ in $kg$?

Two bodies of masses $1\, kg$ and $4\, kg$ are connected to a vertical spring,as shown in the figure. The smaller mass executes simple harmonic motion of angular frequency $25\, rad/s$,and amplitude $1.6\, cm$ while the bigger mass remains stationary on the ground. The maximum force exerted by the system on the floor is ..... $N$ (take $g = 10\, m/s^2$).
