When a spring system performs simple harmonic
motion on the frictionless horizontal plane, as shown in
Figure-I, its period of motion is T₁. The spring in
Figure-l is divided into two equal parts and the system
shown in Figure-II is constructed. If the new spring sys-
tem performs simple harmonic motion, the period of its
motion is T2.
What is the ratio T1/T2?
A)
1/4
B)
3)1/2
C) 1
D)
3/2
E) 2
