The correct answer is:
Let x0 be the extension in the spring in equilibrium. Then equilibrium of A and B give,
T = kx0 + mg sin θ ...(i)
and 2T = mg ...(ii)
Here, T is the tension in the string. Now, suppose A is further displaced by a distance x from its mean position and v be its speed at this moment. Then B lowers by and speed of B at this instant will be Total energy of the system in this position will be,
Since, E is constant,
Motion is simple harmonic, time period of which is,
T = kx0 + mg sin θ ...(i)
