Two springs having spring constant $k_1$ and $k_2$ is connected in series, its resultant spring constant will be $2\,unit$. Now if they connected in parallel its resultant spring constant will be $9\,unit$, then find the value of $k_1$ and $k_2$.
Two springs having spring constant $k_1$ and $k_2$ is connected in series, its resultant spring constant will be $2\,unit$. Now if they connected in parallel its resultant spring constant will be $9\,unit$, then find the value of $k_1$ and $k_2$.
For parallel connection $k_{1}+k_{2}=9$
$\ldots(1)$
For series connection $\frac{k_{1} k_{2}}{k_{1}+k_{2}}=2$
...$(2)$
$\therefore$ From equation (1) and (2) $=\frac{k_{1} k_{2}}{9}$
$\therefore k_{1}+k_{2}=18$
$\therefore k_{2}=\frac{18}{k_{1}}$ putting in equation
$(1)$
$\ldots(3)$
$\therefore k_{1}^{2}+18=9 k_{1}$
$\therefore k_{1}^{2}-9 k_{1}+18=0$
$\therefore\left(k_{1}-6\right)\left(k_{1}-3\right)=0$
$\therefore k_{1}=6$ unit or $k_{1}=3$ unit
$\therefore k_{2}=3$ unit or $k_{2}=6$ unit

A mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes $S.H.M.$ of time period $T$. If the mass is increased by m, the time period becomes $5T/3$. Then the ratio of $m/M$ is
