A block of mass m connected by a spring is kept on a horizontal frictionless floor. When the spring is at its natural length l0, the block is at a distance âaâ from the wall. Now, the block is at a distance â2aâ away from the wall and released. If the collision between the block and wall is elastic, determine the time period of oscillation.

Hey mate,

● Answer-
T = 2π √(m/k)

● Explanation-
When spring is stretched, extension in spring x = 2a-a = a.

Here, restoring force balances the SHM force,
maw^2 - kx = 0
w^2 = ka / ma
w = √(k/m)

Time period is given by-
T = 2π/w
T = 2π √(m/k)

Hope this is useful...
