$A$ mass $m$ is suspended separately by two different springs of spring constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ giving the time periods $t_1$ and $t_2$ respectively. If the same mass $m$ is connected by both springs as shown in the figure,then the time period $t$ is given by the relation:

  • A
    $t = t_1 + t_2$
  • B
    $t = \frac{t_1 t_2}{t_1 + t_2}$
  • C
    $t^2 = t_1^2 + t_2^2$
  • D
    $t^{-2} = t_1^{-2} + t_2^{-2}$

$A$ block of mass $m$,attached to a spring of spring constant $k$,oscillates on a smooth horizontal table. The other end of the spring is fixed to a wall. The block has a speed $v$ when the spring is at its natural length. Before coming to an instantaneous rest,if the block moves a distance $x$ from the mean position,then
