The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the effects of the molten wax of mass \( m \) dropping onto a block of mass \( M \) that is oscillating on a frictionless table. We will evaluate the options given in the question to identify the incorrect statement. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the System**: - We have a block of mass \( M \) oscillating on a frictionless table. - A molten wax of mass \( m \) is dropped onto this block. 2. **Effect on Mass**: - When the molten wax drops onto the block, the total mass of the system becomes \( M + m \). 3. **Time Period of the Oscillating System**: - The time period \( T \) of a mass-spring system is given by the formula: \[ T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{k}} \] - Here, \( k \) is the spring constant. - Since the mass of the system increases from \( M \) to \( M + m \), the new time period \( T' \) will be: \[ T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{M + m}{k}} \] - Since \( M + m > M \), it follows that \( T' > T \). Therefore, the time period increases. 4. **Effect on Amplitude**: - The amplitude of oscillation is determined by the initial conditions of the system and does not change simply because additional mass is added. Thus, the amplitude remains constant. 5. **Evaluating the Options**: - **Option 1**: Amplitude does not change. (This is correct) - **Option 2**: Amplitude increases. (This is incorrect) - **Option 3**: Time period decreases. (This is incorrect) - **Option 4**: Time period increases. (This is correct) ### Conclusion: The incorrect options are: - Amplitude increases (Option 2) - Time period decreases (Option 3) Thus, the answer to the question is that the incorrect options are Option 2 and Option 3.
