Four massless springs whose force constants are $2k, 2k, k$ and $2k$ respectively are attached to a mass $M$ kept on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). If the mass $M$ is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of oscillation of the system is
A$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{{4M}}} $
B$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{4k}}{M}} $
C$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{k}{{7M}}} $
D$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{7k}}{M}} $

B$\frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{4k}}{M}} $
b (b) The two springs on left side having spring constant of $2k$ each are in series, equivalent constant is $\frac{1}{{\left( {\frac{1}{{2k}} + \frac{1}{{2k}}} \right)}} = k$. The two springs on right hand side of mass $M$ are in parallel. Their effective spring constant is $(k + 2k) = 3k$.
Equivalent spring constants of value $k$ and $3k$ are in parallel and their net value of spring constant of all the four springs is $k + 3k = 4k$
$\therefore $ Frequency of mass is $n = \frac{1}{{2\pi }}\sqrt {\frac{{4k}}{M}} $

A block of mass $m$ attached to massless spring is performing oscillatory motion of amplitude $'A'$ on a frictionless horizontal plane. If half of the mass of the block breaks off when it is passing through its equilibrium point, the amplitude of oscillation for the remaining system become $fA.$ The value of $f$ is

A mass $m$ is attached to two springs of same force constant $K$, as shown in following four arrangements. If $T_1, T_2, T_3$ and $T_4$ respectively be the time periods of oscillation in the following arrangements, in which case time period is maximum?
On a smooth inclined plane, a body of mass $M$ is attached between two springs. The other ends of the springs are fixed to firm supports. If each spring has force constant $K$, the period of oscillation of the body (assuming the springs as massless) is
