Serway & Jewett β Oscillatory Motion: Problem 45
A block of mass \( m \) is connected to two springs of force constants \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) in two ways as shown in Figure P15.45. In both cases, the block moves on a frictionless table after it is displaced from equilibrium and released. Show that in the two cases the block exhibits simple harmonic motion with periods (a) \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m(k_1 + k_2)}{k_1 k_2}} \) and (b) \( T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k_1 + k_2}} \)
