Let $T_1$ and $T_2$ be the time periods of two springs $A$ and $B$ when a mass $m$ is suspended from them separately. Now both the springs are connected in parallel and the same mass $m$ is suspended with them. If $T$ is the new time period in this position,then:

  • A
    $T = T_1 + T_2$
  • B
    $T = \frac{T_1 T_2}{T_1 + T_2}$
  • C
    $T^2 = T_1^2 + T_2^2$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{T^2} = \frac{1}{T_1^2} + \frac{1}{T_2^2}$
