Problem

Two identical springs, each of force constant

60\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}

, are attached in parallel to a

0.50\,\text{kg}

mass that is free to oscillate along a straight line. The time period of the resulting simple harmonic motion is closest to a)

0.80\,\text{s}

0.57\,\text{s}

0.40\,\text{s}

0.28\,\text{s}
