The drawing shows a top view of a frictionless horizontal surface, where there are two springs with particles of mass m 1 and m 2 attached to them. Each spring has a spring constant of 1200 N/m. The particles are pulled to the right and then released from the positions shown in the drawing. How much time passes before the at x=0 m if m 1 =3 kg and m 2 =27 kg. If time is nπ 80 sec, fill n in OMR sheet.
