Step 1
Step 1: The period of oscillation of a spring-mass system is given by: $$T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}$$ where $T$ is the period, $m$ is the mass, and $k$ is the spring constant. Show more…

A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of $2.0 \mathrm{s}$. What is the period if a. The mass is doubled? b. The mass is halved? c. The amplitude is doubled? d. The spring constant is doubled? Parts a to d are independent questions, each referring to the initial situation.

A mass m oscillates on a horizontal spring without any resistive (damping) or driving forces. The period of the oscillation is 8.0 s and the spring constant is K. If the spring constant is increased to 4K, and the amplitude of the oscillation is halved, what will be the new period of oscillation?
