a 0.415-kg mass suspended from a spring undergoes simple harmonic oscillations with a period of 1.25 s. how much mass, in kilograms, must be added to the object to change the period to 1.75 s?



Answer :

Am mass of 0.431 kg should be added to the suspended mass so that the period changes from 1.25s to 1.75s.

The time period of the mass oscillating is given by,

T = 2π√(M/k)

Where,

M is the mass suspended by the spring and K is the spring constant,

The mass suspended is 0.145 kg and the time period is 1.25 seconds.

So, putting values,

1.25 = 2π√(0.415/K) ......Equation 2,

Let us say, that we have to add a mass M to the object so that the period changes to 1.75 seconds.

So, we can write,

1.75 = 2π√(0.415+M/K) ......Equation 1

Dividing the equations 1 and 2, we get,

M = 0.431 kg.

So, a mass of 0.431 kg should be added to change the time period.
