Consider the system formed by three ideal springs, a rigid rod of negligible mass and a body of mass M, as illustrated in the figure.  The two springs attached to the ceiling are identical and have spring constant K1 = 2 kg/s2 and natural length L1 = 10 cm, while the third has spring constant K2 = 3 kg/s2 and natural length L2 = 20 cm. Assume that the mass M and the rod oscillate only along the vertical x-axis and that the gravitational acceleration is uniform with magnitude g=10 m/s2. What is the mass oscillation period? Choose the closest value.

Question

Consider the system formed by three ideal springs, a rigid rod of negligible mass and a body of mass M, as illustrated in the figure. 

The two springs attached to the ceiling are identical and have spring constant K1 = 2 kg/s2 and natural length L1 = 10 cm, while the third has spring constant K2 = 3 kg/s2 and natural length L2 = 20 cm. Assume that the mass M and the rod oscillate only along the vertical x-axis and that the gravitational acceleration is uniform with magnitude g=10 m/s2. What is the mass oscillation period? Choose the closest value.
