Problem

Two springs with constants

k_{1}

and

k_{2}

are connected in parallel to a mass

m

. The system oscillates on a horizontal frictionless surface with amplitude

A = 0.2\,\text{m}

. If

k_{1} = 50\,\text{N/m}

and

k_{2} = 150\,\text{N/m}

, calculate the maximum kinetic energy of the oscillating mass.
