    In the given figure, two elastic rods $A$ & $B$ are rigidly joined to end supports. $A$ small mass $‘m’$ is moving with velocity $v$ between the rods. All collisions are assumed to be elastic & the surface is given to be frictionless. The time period of small mass $‘m’$ will be : [$A=$ area of cross section, $Y =$ Young’s modulus, $L=$ length of each rod ; here, an elastic rod may be treated as a spring of spring constant $\frac{{YA}}{L}$ ]
