Two masses m1 and m2 connected by a spring of spring constant k rest on a frictionless surface. If the masses are pulled apart and let go, the time ** of oscillation is-
Correct Option :- (A)
Explanation :-
Let the masses be slightly displaced by x1 and x2 from this equilibrium position in opposite direction so net stretch in spring is x = x1 + x2. Because of this a restoring force kx will act on each mass and therefore equation for m1 & m2 will be
