In a spring block system as shown in figure, if the spring constant $\mathrm{K}=9 \pi^2 \mathrm{Nm}^{-1}$, then the time period of oscillation is

- 1s
- 3.14s
- 1.414s
- 0.5s
Solution
$\mathrm{K}_{\mathrm{e}}=\frac{(2 \mathrm{k})(\mathrm{k})}{2 \mathrm{k}+\mathrm{k}}=\frac{2 \mathrm{k}}{3}$
$\therefore$ Time period, $T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{~m}}{K_e}}=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{3}{\frac{2 \times 9 \pi^2}{3}}}=\frac{6}{\sqrt{2 \times 9 \pi}}$ $=\sqrt{2}=1.414 \mathrm{~s}$
