$A$ block $P$ of mass $m$ is placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. Another block $Q$ of the same mass $m$ is kept on $P$ and connected to a wall with the help of a spring of spring constant $k$ as shown in the figure. $\mu_s$ is the coefficient of static friction between $P$ and $Q$. The blocks move together performing simple harmonic motion $(SHM)$ of amplitude $A$. The maximum value of the friction force between $P$ and $Q$ is

$A$ block is placed on a frictionless horizontal table. The mass of the block is $m$ and springs are attached on either side with force constants $K_1$ and $K_2$. If the block is displaced a little and left to oscillate,then the angular frequency of oscillation will be

The potential energy of a particle of mass $0.02 \ kg$ moving along the $x$-axis is given by $V = A x(x-4) \ J$, where $x$ is in metres and $A$ is a constant. Which of the following is/are correct statement$(s)$?

$A$ 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 $kg$?
