Question

Two springs of force constants k1 and k2 are connected as shown in figure. The time period of vertical oscillations of mass m is given by

                                                                

Solution

Correct option is

 

Two springs are connected in parallel. Therefore, the force constant of the combination is 

                       

This can be shown as follows: Let x be the extension in each spring. Since the total force is mg, the restoring force in each spring has a magnitudemg/2. 

 . Therefore
