Explain the construction and working of Barton's pendulum.

MEDIUM
IMPORTANT

A mass m is suspended one by one by two springs of force constants k1, k2. The time periods of their oscillations are T1 and T2 respectively. If the same mass be suspended by connecting the two springs in parallel then the time period of oscillations is T.The correct relation is:
