Four massless springs whose force constants are 
and 
respectively are attached to a mass 
kept on a frictionless plane (as shown in figure). If the mass is displaced in the horizontal direction, then the frequency of oscillation of the system is 
The correct answer is:
The two spring on left side having spring constant of each are in series, equivalent constant is 
The two springs on right hand side of mass are in parallel. Their effective spring constant is 
Equivalent spring constants of value 
and 
are in parallel and their net value of spring constant of all the four springs is 
Frequency of mass is
