Question

The mass m shown in figure is displaced vertically by a small amount and released. If the system oscillates with a period of 2 seconds, the value of the spring constant k is

                                                              

Solution

Correct option is

 

If the mass is displaced by a small amount x, the restoring on it is F = kx +kx = 2kx. Therefore, time period is
