Question
What happened to the period of oscillation for this mass-spring system as the mass? Increased? Give a conceptual explanation (no equations) of why the period would do this. Think about how forces affect objects with larger masses.

Answer:
As mass increases, the time period increases.
Explanation:
Let a block of mass m is attached to a spring of spring constant K is set into oscillations.
The time period of the oscillation is defined as the time taken by the system t complete one oscillation.
The formula for the time period of spring mass system is given by
where, m is the mass of the block and K is the spring constant.
If the mass of the block increases, the time period of the system also increases.
