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$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{m_2}{k}}$
