#e#

There will be no change in total energy

Explanation:

We know that total energy at extreme point of an SHM motion is #1/2momega^2A^2#(where,#A# is the amplitude of motion.

Now,if we put a mass #m# gently on this particle,its kinetic energy will be zero,as velocity of a particle in SHM at extreme point is also zero,so the new total energy of the system becomes, #1/2 momega^2A^2+0=e#

So,there will be no change in total energy.
