A particle of mass \( \mathrm{m} \) is attached to three identical springs \( \mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B} \) and \( \mathrm{C} \) each of force constant \( \mathrm{k} \) as shown in figure. If the particle of mass \( \mathrm{m} \) is pushed slightly against the spring \( \mathrm{A} \) and released, then the time period of oscillation is -

The correct answer is:
\( 2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{m}}{2 k}} \)


When particle is displaced by a distance x in the downward direction, lower spring is compressed by distance in downward direction and both upper string is displaced by at an angle of from vertical.Due to these compressions and expansions, net force start working on the particle which tries to bring the particle back to its original position.
Writing net spring force on the particle-
