00:01 For these two questions, it's important to know the period for a mass on a spring as well as for a pendulum, both of which we are going to assume show simple harmonic motion.

00:15 So for problem one, you're trying to discover which of the given statements are true.

00:22 And so the first statement says that the maximum distance we pull the mass away from x equals zero will increase the time for one oscillation or the period.

00:38 And that's not true because the displacement x is nowhere to be found in the formula for the period of a mass on a spring.

00:49 So this one is not true.

00:55 For the second one, i -i, it says that the stiffness or strength of the spring will determine the period.

01:04 And that is true.

01:05 K is in the expression for the period.

01:10 And so the strength of the spring or the spring constant is important.

01:16 The third statement is that the mass of the object attached to the.

01:22 The spring will determine the period and mass also shows up in our equation, so it is true.

01:27 So only two and three are true here.

01:32 For problem two, there are a ton of statements.

01:37 And again, here we want to figure out which of these statements are not true, which of these are not a feature of harmonic oscillations.

01:49 So first, is there a stable equilibrium point where the net four, is zero.

01:54 If we're considering a pendulum or a mass on a spring, there is an equilibrium force or sorry, an equilibrium point.

02:07 And when our object is at equilibrium, the net force on it is zero...
