The time period of simple harmonic motion of mass M in the given figure is M5k, where the value of is . [figure]
Answer
12
Solution
Right branch: two k in parallel =2k, in series with k: 2k k2k+k= 2k3
Left spring k is in parallel with this branch: keq=k+ 2k3= 5k3
T=2 Mkeq=2 3M5k= 12M5k
=12
Answer: 12
