One end of a spring of force constant k is fixed to a vertical wall and the other to a block of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal surface. There is another wall at a distance ${x_0}$ from the black. The spring is then compressed by $2{x_0}$ and released. The time taken to strike the wall is
  • A$\frac{1}{6}\pi \sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $
  • B$\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $
  • C$\frac{{2\pi }}{3}\sqrt {\frac{m}{k}} $
  • D$\frac{\pi }{4}\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} $
