Question

Two blocks each of mass m is connected to the spring of spring constant k as shown in the figure. 

If the blocks are displaced slightly in opposite directions and released, they will execute simple harmonic motion. The time period of oscillation is

Moderate
Solution

Reduced mass of the system

μ=(m)(m)m+m=m2

 Time period, T=2πμk=2πm2k
