A mass $m$ is suspended separately by two different springs of spring constant $K_1$ and $K_2$ gives the time-period ${t_1}$ and ${t_2}$ respectively. If same mass $m$ is connected by both springs as shown in figure then 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${t^{ - 2}} = {t_1}^{ - 2} + {t_2}^{ - 2}$

D${t^{ - 2}} = {t_1}^{ - 2} + {t_2}^{ - 2}$
d (d) ${t_1} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{K_1}}}} $ and ${t_2} = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{K_2}}}} $
Equivalent spring constant for shown combination is
$K_1 + K_2$. So time period $t$ is given by $t = 2\pi \sqrt {\frac{m}{{{K_1} + {K_2}}}} $
By solving these equations we get ${t^{ - 2}} = t_1^{ - 2} + t_2^{ - 2}$

A particle executes $SHM$ of amplitude $25\, cm$ and time period $3\, s$. What is the minimum time required for the particle to move between two points $12.5\, cm$ on either side of the mean position ..... $\sec$
A block of mass $1 \,kg$ attached to a spring is made to oscillate with an initial amplitude of $12\, cm$. After $2\, minutes$ the amplitude decreases to $6\, cm$. Determine the value of the damping constant for this motion. (take In $2=0.693$ )
A pendulum is suspended by a string of length $250\,cm$. The mass of the bob of the pendulum is $200\,g$. The bob is pulled aside until the string is at $60^{\circ}$ with vertical as shown in the figure. After releasing the bob. the maximum velocity attained by the bob will be________ $ms ^{-1}$. (if $g=10\,m / s ^{2}$ )
A mass of $5\, {kg}$ is connected to a spring. The potential energy curve of the simple harmonic motion executed by the system is shown in the figure. A simple pendulum of length $4\, {m}$ has the same period of oscillation as the spring system. What is the value of acceleration due to gravity on the planet where these experiments are performed? (In ${m} / {s}^{2}$)
A weightless spring which has a force constant oscillates with frequency $n$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from it. The spring is cut into two equal halves and a mass $2m $ is suspended from it. The frequency of oscillation will now become
The time period of a second's pendulum is $2\, sec$. The spherical bob which is empty from inside has a mass of $50\, gm$. This is now replaced by another solid bob of same radius but having different mass of $ 100\, gm$. The new time period will be .... $\sec$
