The correct answer is: 12

For series combination of the spring, equivalent spring constant is given by, 1keq=1k1+1k2.

Therefore, for combined system net spring constant keq=2k×k2k+k+k=5k3

Angular frequency of oscillation ω=keqm

ω=5k3m

Period of oscillation τ=2πω=2π3m5k

=π12m5k

Therefore, α=12.
