Two bodies of equal mass are hung from two light vertical springs. The springs are elongated by 1 cm and 4 cm. If they are made to oscillate, the ratio of time periods is

A

`1 : 1`

B

`1 : 2`

C

`2 : 1`

D

`1 : 4`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`(T_(1))/(T_(2))=sqrt((x_(1))/(x_(2)))=sqrt((1)/(4))=(1)/(2)`.
