    By suspending a mass of 0.50 kg a spring is stretched by 8.20 m. If a mass of 0.25 kg is suspended, then its period of oscillation will be (Take \[g=10\,\,m{{s}^{-2}}\])

    A)  0.137 s        

    B)  0.328 s

    C)  0.628 s        

    D)  1.00 s

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The force constant of the spring,                 \[k=\frac{F}{x}=\frac{0.5\times 10}{0.2}\]                 = 25 N/m Now, if the mass of 0.25 kg is suspended by the spring, then the period of oscillation,                 \[T=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\] \[=2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.25}{25}}=0.628\,\,s\]
