The period of oscillation of the mass m...

The period of oscillation of the mass m suspended by a massless spring, when slightly displaced and let go, is T. The period will be more than T if :

A

The above experiment is performed on the moon

B

The above experiment is performed in a mine

C

The mass m is increased

D

The mass m is decreased.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`T=2pi sqrt((m)/(k))`
Time period will increase only when mass m is increased.
Hence correct choice is ( c ).
