Question
Analyze The spring constant of a spring is increased by a factor of 4 , but the mass attached to the spring remains the same. How does the period of oscillation change?
Step 1
Step 1: We know that the period of oscillation of a spring mass system is given by the formula: \[ t = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \] where \( t \) is the period, \( m \) is the mass attached to the spring, and \( k \) is the spring constant. Show more…

Concept Check If the mass attached to a given spring is increased by a factor of 4 , by what factor does the period change?
An object with a mass M is suspended from an elastic spring with a spring constant k. The object oscillates with period T. If the mass of oscillations is quadrupled, how it will change the period of oscillations?
Make a prediction: if you increase spring constant by a factor of 4, how will the frequency change?
