If the period of a oscillation of mass ' m ' suspended from a spring is 2 s , then the period of suspended mass ' 4 m ' with the same spring will be
Options
- A1 s
- B3s
- C2 s
- D4 s
Correct answer
D. 4 s
Step-by-step solution
The period of oscillation for a mass m attached to a spring with constant k is given by T = 2 m k . Since the period is proportional to the square root of the mass, the period ratio is T₂ T₁ = m₂ m₁ . Substituting the given values m₁ = m and m₂ = 4m yields T₂ 2 = 4 = 2 . Solving shows the new period is T₂ = 4 seconds . The correct option is D.
