(b)In series combination
$\frac{1}{{{k_S}}} = \frac{1}{{2{k_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{k_2}}}$
==> ${k_S} = {\left[ {\frac{1}{{2{k_1}}} + \frac{1}{{{k_2}}}} \right]^{ - 1}}$

    The motion of a mass on a spring, with spring constant ${K}$ is as shown in figure. The equation of motion is given by $x(t)= A sin \omega t+ Bcos\omega t$ with $\omega=\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$ Suppose that at time $t=0$, the position of mass is $x(0)$ and velocity $v(0)$, then its displacement can also be represented as $x(t)=C \cos (\omega t-\phi)$, where $C$ and $\phi$ are
