(b) $n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{g}{l}} $==> $n \propto \frac{1}{{\sqrt l }}$==> $\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{l_2}}}{{{l_1}}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{L_2}}}{{2{L_2}}}} $

==> $\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = \frac{1}{{\sqrt 2 }}$==> ${n_2} = \sqrt 2 \,{n_1}$ ==> ${n_2} > {n_1}$

Energy $E = \frac{1}{2}m{\omega ^2}{a^2} = 2{\pi ^2}m{n^2}{a^2}$

==>$\frac{{a_1^2}}{{a_2^2}} = \frac{{{m_2}n_2^2}}{{{m_1}n_1^2}}$ ( $E$ is same)

Given ${n_2} > {n_1}$ and ${m_1} = {m_2}$ ==> ${a_1} > {a_2}$

    A block with mass $M$ is connected by a massless spring with stiffiess constant $k$ to a rigid wall and moves without friction on a horizontal surface. The block oscillates with small amplitude $A$ about an equilibrium position $x_0$. Consider two cases: ($i$) when the block is at $x_0$; and ($ii$) when the block is at $x=x_0+A$. In both the cases, a perticle with mass $m$ is placed on the mass $M$ ?
