When the mass of the spring changed from 0.2kg to 0.1kg, the time period changed from 1 sec to 0.5 seconds
Explanation:
Given-
Mass, m1 = 0.2kg
Time period, T1 = 1s
m2 = 0.1 kg
T2 = ?
We know,
where,
T = Time period
m = mass
k = spring constant
From the equation, we can see that T is directly proportion to the square root of mass, m
T ∝ √m
So,
If m1 = 0.2kg , T1 = 1s and m2 = 0.1kg
The T2 would be:
Therefore, when the mass of the spring changed from 0.2kg to 0.1kg, the time period changed from 1 sec to 0.5 seconds
