Randall D. Knight — Oscillations: Problem 1
A block oscillating on a spring has period \(T = 2\text{ s}\). What is the period if: a. The block’s mass is doubled? Explain. Note that you do not know the value of either \(m\) or \(k\), so do not assume any particular values for them. The required analysis involves thinking about ratios. b. The value of the spring constant is quadrupled? c. The oscillation amplitude is doubled while \(m\) and \(k\) are unchanged?
