    Figure shown a block P of mass m resting on a smooth horizontal surface, attached to a spring of force constant k which is rigidly fixed on the wall on left side, shown in the figure . At a distance l to the right of the block there is a rigid wall. If block is pushed towards left so that spring is compressed by a distance 5l//3 and when released, if will starts its oscillations. If collision of block with the wall is considered to be perfectly elastic. Find the time period of oscillation of the block.
