In the given figure, a mass 
is attached to a horizontal spring which is fixed on one side to a rigid support. The spring constant of the spring is 
. The mass oscillates on a frictionless surface with time period 
and amplitude 
. When the mass is in equilibrium position, as shown in the figure, another mass 
is gently fixed upon it. The new amplitude of oscillation will be -
