Given:
- \mbox{Mass m attached to a spring with spring constant K.}
Question:
- \mbox{What size mass should you attach to the spring to double the period of oscillation?}
Rationale:
- T_{period} = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}
- 2 T_{period} = 2 \pi 2 \sqrt{\dfrac{m}{k}}
- 2 T_{period} = 2 \pi \sqrt{\dfrac{4 m}{k}}
Calculate:
- \mbox{Answer is it takes 4m to double the period.}
