6. When a mass is attached to a spring, the period of oscillation is approximately 2.0 seconds.

When the mass attached to the spring is doubled, the period of oscillation is most nearly
a) 0.5 s b) 1.0 s c) 1.4 s d) 2.0 s e) 2.8 s

1 answer

T₁=2πsqrt(m₁/k)
T₂=2πsqrt(m₂/k)
T₁/T₂=sqrt{m₁/m₂}
T₂=T₁/sqrt{m₁/m₂}= 2.8 s
