Question 1
4 May 2023 S2
40A mass 'm' attached to a spring oscillates with a period of 3 second. If the mass is increased by 0.6 kg, the period increases by 3 second. The initial mass 'm' is equal toTap an option to check your answer.
Question 2

21The upper end of the spring is fixed and a mass 'm' is attached to its lower end. When mass is slightly pulled down and released, it oscillates with time period 3 second. If mass 'm' is increased by 1 kg, the time period becomes 5 second. The value of 'm' is (mass of spring is negligible)Tap an option to check your answer.
