A block of mass
is connected to a spring of force constant
and is placed on a smooth horizontal surface. The block is displaced and compresses the spring by
. The block is left free to move from this position, when the block is at a distance
from the mean position it collides elastically with an identical block. Time the oscillating block takes to reach from extreme to the mean position is
