The correct Answer is:
To analyze the statements given in the question, we need to evaluate both the Assertion (A) and the Reason (R) regarding the time period of a spring-block system. ### Step 1: Understanding the Time Period of a Spring-Block System The time period (T) of a spring-block system is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}} \] where: - \( m \) is the mass of the block, - \( k \) is the spring constant. ### Step 2: Analyzing the Assertion (A) The assertion states that if a spring-block system oscillating in a vertical plane is made to oscillate on a horizontal surface, the time period will remain the same. - When the system oscillates vertically, the gravitational force affects the equilibrium position of the spring but does not affect the time period of oscillation. - When the system is moved to a horizontal surface, the gravitational force does not influence the oscillation since the spring's restoring force is still determined by the displacement from the equilibrium position. Thus, the assertion (A) is **true**. ### Step 3: Analyzing the Reason (R) The reason states that the time period of a spring-block system does not depend on \( g \) (acceleration due to gravity). - From the formula for the time period, we can see that \( g \) does not appear in the equation. - This indicates that the time period is independent of gravitational acceleration, confirming that the time period is solely dependent on mass and spring constant. Thus, the reason (R) is also **true**. ### Step 4: Conclusion Since both the assertion (A) and the reason (R) are true, and the reason correctly explains the assertion, we conclude that: - The assertion is true, and the reason is true, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer: Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A. ---
