Q108 / 180 · NEET 2016 (Phase 2) · Physics

A body of mass, m is attached to the lower end of a spring whose upper end is fixed. The spring has negligible mass. When the mass  m is slightly pulled down and released, it oscillates with a time period of 3 s. When the mass  m is increased by 1 kg, the time period of oscillations becomes 5 s. The value of m in kg is

  • A
    34
  • B
    43
  • C
    169
  • Correct answer
    D
    916

Solution

T1=3=2πmK.

Then, T2=5=2πm+1K.

By dividing both the equations, we get,

35=mm+1

925=mm+1

9m+9=25 m

16m=9

m=916.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
