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