a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by $\sqrt{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Explanation:

The statement is incomplete. We proceed to present the complete statement: A block attached to a spring with unknown spring constant oscillates with a period of 2.00 s. What is the period if a. The mass is doubled? b. The mass is halved? c. The amplitude is doubled? d. The spring constant is doubled?

We have a block-spring system, whose angular frequency ( $\omega$ ) is defined by the following formula:

$\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} }$ (1)

Where:

- Spring constant, measured in newtons per meter.

- Mass, measured in kilograms.

And the period (), measured in seconds, is determined by the following expression:

$T = \frac{2\pi}{\omega}$ (2)

By applying (1) in (2), we get the following formula:

$T = 2\pi\cdot \sqrt{\frac{m}{k} }$

a) If the mass is doubled, then the period is increased by $\sqrt{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 2.828 seconds.

b) If the mass is halved, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

c) The period of the system does not depend on amplitude. Hence, the period of the system is 2 seconds.

d) If the spring constant is doubled, then the period is reduced by $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$ . Hence, the period of the system is 1.414 seconds.

Air is held within a frictionless piston-cylinder container, which is oriented vertically. the mass of the piston is 0.45 kg and the cross-sectional area is 0.0030 m2. initially (state 1) the pressure of the gas is sufficient to support the weight of the piston as well as the force exerted by the atmospheric pressure ( 101.32 kpa). the volume occupied by the air within the cylinder in state 1 is 1.00 liter. one end of a spring (with spring constant k = 1000 n/m) is attached to the top of the piston, while the other end of the spring is attached to a stage that can move vertically. initially the spring is undeflected and therefore exerts no force. then the stage is then moved quasistatically downward a distance of 10.0 cm, at which point the system reaches state 2. the piston-cylinder is not insulated; rather it remains in diathermal contact with the surroundings, which are at a constant temperature of 300 k. what is the change of pressure within the container?
