Two identical springs are connected to a mass $m$ as shown in the figure ($k$ = spring constant). If the time period of the configuration in $(a)$ is $2 \,s$, what is the time period of the configuration in $(b)$?

Figure $(a)$ shows a spring of force constant $k$ clamped rigidly at one end and a mass $m$ attached to its free end. $A$ force $F$ applied at the free end stretches the spring. Figure $(b)$ shows the same spring with both ends free and attached to a mass $m$ at either end. Each end of the spring in Figure $(b)$ is stretched by the same force $F$.
