The force constants of two springs are ${K_1}$ and ${K_2}$. Both are stretched till their elastic energies are equal. If the stretching forces are ${F_1}$ and ${F_2}$, then ${F_1}:{F_2}$ is

Two identical spring of constant $K$ are connected in series and parallel as shown in figure. A mass $m$ is suspended from them. The ratio of their frequencies of vertical oscillations will be

What is restoring force ?

A mass $m =100\, gms$ is attached at the end of a light spring which oscillates on a frictionless horizontal table with an amplitude equal to $0.16$ metre and time period equal to $2 \,sec$. Initially the mass is released from rest at $t = 0$ and displacement $x = - 0.16$ metre. The expression for the displacement of the mass at any time $t$ is
