Question:

A block oscillating on a spring has period T = 2 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?
