The equilibrium stretching is given by equating weight with spring force.

$\therefore 0.2 \times 10=200 \times x$

$x=0.01 m=1 \mathrm{cm}$

When taken back to unstretched state, the sum of spring force and weight together is converted into spring force.

$\therefore 200 \times 0.01+0.2 \times 10=200 \times x$

$x=0.02 m=2 \mathrm{cm}$

The frequency is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi} \sqrt{\frac{200}{0.2}} \approx 5.05 H z$

    A block of mass $2\,kg$ is attached with two identical springs of spring constant $20\,N / m$ each. The block is placed on a frictionless surface and the ends of the springs are attached to rigid supports (see figure). When the mass is displaced from its equilibrium position, it executes a simple harmonic motion. The time period of oscillation is $\frac{\pi}{\sqrt{x}}$ in SI unit. The value of $x$ is $..........$

    $Assertion :$ Resonance is a special case of forced vibration in which the natural frequency of vibration of the body is the same as the impressed frequency of external periodic force and the amplitude of forced vibration is maximum.
    $Reason :$ The amplitude of forced vibrations of a body increases with an increase in the frequency of the externally impressed periodic force.
