Two identical spheres each of radius $R$ are kept at center-to-center spacing $4R$ as shown in the figure. They are charged and the electrostatic force of interaction between them is first calculated assuming them point like charges at their centers and the force is also measured experimentally. The calculated and measured forces are denoted by $F_c$ and $F_m$ respectively.
($F_c$ and $F_m$ denote magnitude of force)

Two identical positive charges $Q$ each are fixed at a distance of ' $2 a$ ' apart from each other. Another point charge qo with mass ' $m$ ' is placed at midpoint between two fixed charges. For a small displacement along the line joining the fixed charges, the charge $q_{0}$ executes $SHM$. The time period of oscillation of charge $q_{0}$ will be.
