A mass 0.9 ~kg, attached to a horizontal spring, executes SHM with an amplitude A₁. When this mass passes through its mean position, then a smaller mass of 124 ~g is placed over it and both masses move together with amplitude A₂. If the ratio (A₁)/(A₂) is (α)/(α-1), then the value of α will be _ _ _ _ _ _.

A mass

0.9 \mathrm{~kg}

, attached to a horizontal spring, executes SHM with an amplitude

\mathrm{A}_{1}

. When this mass passes through its mean position, then a smaller mass of

124 \mathrm{~g}

is placed over it and both masses move together with amplitude

A_{2}

. If the ratio

\frac{A_{1}}{A_{2}}

\frac{\alpha}{\alpha-1}

, then the value of

\alpha

will be ___________.
