62.Compounded Spring Stiffness
+10
A massless pulley supports a mass from its axle. A single elastic cord of spring constant and natural length passes over the pulley; both ends of the cord are tied to points on the ceiling directly above the pulley, so each segment hangs vertically. The mass is displaced slightly downward from equilibrium and released from rest. What is the period of small vertical oscillations?
