In the adjacent figure, ABCD are four points in a smooth horizontal plane representing the four corners of a square of diagonal 20 cm. A very small object of mass 144gm placed at the centre of the square connected to points A,B,C and D by four elastic strings of same dimensions but of different moduli of elasticity as shown in the figure. Natural length and cross-sectional area of each string are 10 cm and π2×10-6 m2 respectively. The mass is slightly displaced from equilibrium and then released to perform SHM along the diagonal AC. (Y1=9Y,Y2=4Y,Y3=16Y and Y4=4Y, where Y=4.9×109 N m-2). The time period of oscillation of object is K millisecond. The value of K is approximately.
