Question

For a simple spring-mass system with mass m and spring constant k, what is the formula for its period T of oscillation?
Options
A T = 2π√(k/m)
B T = (1/2π)√(m/k)
C T = 2π√(m/k)
Correct Answer
D T = 2π(m/k)
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

From the 'Simple Spring' section on page 8, equation 10 gives the period as T = 2π√(m/k).

Hint

Look for the period formula for a simple spring in the 'Simple Harmonic Oscillators' section.
