A mass oscillates at the end of a spring.If you double both the mass and the spring constant,the period of oscillation is unchanged.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The period of oscillation of a mass-spring system is given by:

T = 2π√(m/k)

where m is the mass of the object and k is the spring constant.

If we double both m and k, we get:

T' = 2π√(2m/2k) = 2π√(m/k) = T

Therefore, the period of oscillation is unchanged.
