The general displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator is $$x = A\sin \omega t$$. Let T be its time period. The slope of its potential energy (U) - time (t) curve will be maximum when $$t = {T \over \beta }$$. The value of $$\beta$$ is ______________.

A particle of mass 250 g executes a simple harmonic motion under a periodic force $$\mathrm{F}=(-25~x)\mathrm{N}$$. The particle attains a maximum speed of 4 m/s during its oscillation. The amplitude of the motion is ___________ cm.

A mass m attached to free end of a spring executes SHM with a period of 1s. If the mass is increased by 3 kg the period of the oscillation increases by one second, the value of mass m is ___________ kg.

A block of a 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 ____________.
