A particle moves so that its acceleration \(a\) is given by; \(a=-bx, \) where \(x \) is the displacement from the equilibrium position and \(b\) is a constant. The period of oscillation is:
1. \({2}{\pi}\sqrt{b} \) 2. \(\dfrac{2\pi }{\sqrt{b}}\)
3. \(\dfrac{2\pi }{b}\) 4. \(2\sqrt{\dfrac{\pi }{b}} \)

The period of oscillation of a mass \(M\) suspended from a spring of negligible mass is \(T.\) If along with it another mass \(M\) is also suspended, the period of oscillation will now be:
1. \(T\)
2. \(T/\sqrt{2}\)
3. \(2T\)
4. \(\sqrt{2} T\)
