Question

i am truly stuck on this problem it's two parts but I know I solved the first part correctly. the question is as follows: Find the periods of block 1& block 2 given k= 50.3N/m and m=1.21kg. (Assume the springs are compressible and can stretch.)
the first image (block 1)is of a mass with 2 springs (connected on a stationary wall) on the same side of mass.
the second image (with block 2) has two springs total, one on both opposing sides of the block.
***************
i was able to conceptualize the first image using 2?/T=?(k/m), but since the 2 springs are on the same side of it would be 2?=?(2k/m)
i am completely lost with the second image i feel as if i am not accounting for all variables to find the period plz help me

Explanation / Answer

no problem, now when you displace the box by x to the right hand, one spring expands and one spring compresses. ut the net resultants of the forces is in the same direction, ie to the left, so, F= 2Kx = ma so, t= 2X pi sqrt (m/2K)
