JEE Main 4 April 2024, Shift 2, Physics Q50

Question 50 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 20 of 30, Section A.

In simple harmonic motion, the total mechanical energy of given system is EE. If mass of oscillating particle PP is doubled then the new energy of the system for same amplitude is:

The figure, in words

A mass mm (labelled PP) hangs from a vertical spring of constant kk attached to a fixed ceiling.
