A mass m is attached to four springs of spring constants 2k 2k k k as shown in figure.The mass is capable of oscillating on a frictionless horizontal floor.If it is displaced slightly and released the frequency of resulting SHM would
I would ans the question if you have given that how those blocks of springs are connected. I assume that 2k and 2k are in series so resultant will be k. And k and k in series will give the result to k/2. Now both of them are in parallel. So resultant spring constant is 3k/2. Now frequency of oscillation is 1/2pi root over 3k/2m.
