Referring to the mass-spring system shown in Fig. 13.14 where two identical springs of spring constant \( k \) are attached to a mass \( m \), what is the effective time period of oscillation for the system?

1. A
   \( 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \)
2. B
   \( 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{2m}{k}} \)
3. C
   \( 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{2k}} \)
4. D
   \( \pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \)
