A weightless spring of length 60 cm and force constant 200 N/m is kept straight and unstretched on a smooth horizontal table and its ends are rigidly fixed. A mass of 0.25 kg is attached at the middle of the spring and is slightly displaced along the length. The time period of the oscillation of the mass is

a
π20s
b
π10s
c
π5s
d
π200s

detailed solution
