A block (5) is attached to two unstretched springs with spring constants k and 4k, respectively. The other ends are attached to two supports and not attached to the walls. The springs and supports have negligible mass. There is no friction anywhere. The block B is displaced towards wall 1 by a small distance x and released. The block returns and moves a maximum distance y towards wall 2. Displacements x and y are measured with respect to the equilibrium position of the block B. The ratio is
