Correct answer: 20
- Identify the effective spring constant
The block is attached to two identical springs of spring constant .
When the block is displaced horizontally by , each spring contributes a restoring force toward equilibrium. So the net restoring force is
Hence, the effective spring constant is
- Write the angular frequency
