Two identical springs are connected to a mass $m$ as shown in the figure ($k$ = spring constant). If the time period of the configuration in $(a)$ is $2 \,s$, what is the time period of the configuration in $(b)$?

  • A
    $\sqrt{2} \,s$
  • B
    $1 \,s$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \,s$
  • D
    $2 \sqrt{2} \,s$

$A$ mass $m_1$ performs $S.H.M.$ with amplitude $A$ while connected to a horizontal spring. While mass $m_1$ is passing through the mean position, another mass $m_2$ $(m_2 < m_1)$ is placed on it so that both masses move together with amplitude $A_1$. The ratio of $A/A_1$ is
