Question:

A block oscillating on a spring has period \(T=2.0 \mathrm{~s}\).

a. What is the period if the block's mass is doubled?

b. What is the period if the value of the spring constant is quadrupled?

c. What is the period if the oscillation amplitude is doubled while \(m\) and \(k\) are unchanged?

Note: You do not know values for either \(m\) or \(k\). Do not assume any particular values for them. The required analysis involves thinking about ratios.
