One end of a long metallic wire of length $L$ is tied to the ceiling. The other end is tied to massless spring of spring constant $K$. A mass $ m$ hangs freely from the free end of the spring. The area of cross-section and Young's modulus of the wire are $A$ and $Y$ respectively. If the mass is slightly pulled down and released, it will oscillate with a time period $T$ equal to
  • A$2\pi \left( {\frac{m}{K}} \right)$
  • B$2\pi {\left\{ {\frac{{(YA + KL)m}}{{YAK}}} \right\}^{1/2}}$
  • C$2\pi \frac{{mYA}}{{KL}}$
  • D$2\pi \frac{{mL}}{{YA}}$
