Two springs, of force constants k1 and k2 are connected to a mass m as shown in the figure. The frequency of oscillation of the mass is f. If both k1 and k2 are made four times their original values, the frequency of oscillation will become:
        

1. 2f 2. f/2
3. f/4 4. 4f

On a smooth inclined plane, a body of mass \(M\) is attached between two springs. The other ends of the springs are fixed to firm supports. If each spring has force constant \(K\), the period of oscillation of the body (assuming the springs as massless) will be:
                
1. \(2\pi \left( \frac{M}{2K}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
2. \(2\pi \left( \frac{2M}{K}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)
3. \(2\pi \left(\frac{Mgsin\theta}{2K}\right)\)
4. \(2\pi \left( \frac{2Mg}{K}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\)

When a mass is suspended separately by two different springs, in successive order, then the time period of oscillations is \(t _1\) and \(t_2\) respectively. If it is connected by both springs as shown in the figure below, then the time period of oscillation becomes \(t_0.\) The correct relation between \(t_0,\) \(t_1\) & \(t_2\) is:

1. t02=t12+t22

2. t0-2=t1-2+t2-2

3. t0-1=t1-1+t2-1

4. t0=t1+t2
