Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 11
The period of oscillation of a mass M suspended from a spring of negligible mass is T. If along with it another mass M is also suspended, the period of oscillation will now be
A
√2T
B
T
C
T/√2
D
2T
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The period of oscillation is proportional to the square root of the mass. With two masses, the effective mass is 2M, leading to a period of √2T.
