Question

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?

A

The period is increased by factor two

B

The period is increased by factor four

C

The period is decreased by factor two

D

The period remains the same

Solution

Verified by Toppr

Correct option is A)

The time period of oscillations is given by the formula $T = 2 π (\frac{M}{K})$
If the mass is quadrupled (i.e 4M), then time period becomes doubled
