Here is a sketch of the graph of m (on the vertical axis) against T^2 (on the horizontal axis) for both the single spring and the parallel springs. The relationship for a single spring is m = ((k_1)/(4^2)) T^2. The relationship for two identical springs in parallel is m = ((2k_1)/(4^2)) T_0^2. Both equations represent straight lines passing through the origin. The slope for the parallel springs (s_2 = (2k_1)/(4^2)) is twice the slope for the single spring (s_1 = (k_1)/(4^2)), meaning the line for the parallel springs will be steeper.
