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