Question: You hang a mass m = 0 . 2 2 kg on a spring with spring constant 1 2 N / m . You

 
 You hang a mass m =0.22 kg on a spring with spring constant 12 N/m.  You pull the mass down a distance of 0.04 m from its equilibrium position and release it. You measure the period to be  
 
 0.85 s. 
 A If you instead pull the mass down 0.12 m from its equilibrium position and release it, what would the new period be?  Justify your answer 
  
 B If you use a spring whose spring constant is one-fourth the original spring constant, how would the new period compare to the original period?  
 
 < The new period will be the same. 
 
<  The new period will be longer. 
 
<  The new period will be shorter.
