Two masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ connected by a spring of spring constant $k$ rest on a frictionless surface. If the masses are pulled apart and let go, the time period of oscillation is
  • A$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{1}{k}\left(\frac{m_1 m_2}{m_1+m_2}\right)}$
  • B$T=2 \pi \sqrt{k\left(\frac{m_1+m_2}{m_1 m_2}\right)}$
  • C$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m_1}{k}}$
  • D$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m_2}{k}}$

    On a frictionless horizontal plane, a bob of mass $m=0.1 kg$ is attached to a spring with natural length $l_0=0.1 m$. The spring constant is $k_1=0.009 Nm ^{-1}$ when the length of the spring $I > l_0$ and is $k_2=0.016 Nm ^{-1}$ when $ I < l_0$. Initially the bob is released from $l=0.15 m$. Assume that Hooke's law remains valid throughout the motion. If the time period of the full oscillation is $T=(n \pi) s$, then the integer closest to $n$ is. . . . .
