Question 159 of 194
In figure (A), mass is fixed on mass which is attached to two springs of spring constant . In figure (B), mass is attached to two spring of spring constant and . If mass in (A) and (B) are displaced by distance horizontally and then released, then time period and corresponding to (A) and (B) respectively follow the relation.

Show answer and solution
Answer: (A)
The time period of spring block system is given by .
In both the cases springs are connected in parallel,
In case : and total mass is . Therefore,
In case and total mass is . Therefore,
In both the cases springs are connected in parallel,
In case : and total mass is . Therefore,
In case and total mass is . Therefore,
