Answer:
T=0.827s
Explanation:
The period of a spring can be calculated with the equation

But we know as well that w is given by,

Replacing,

So we have that

Before going to solve this question first we have to understand specific heat capacity of a substance .
The specific heat of a substance is defined as amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance through one degree Celsius. Let us consider a substance whose mass is m.Let Q amount of heat is given to it as a result of which its temperature is raised from T to T'.
Hence specific heat of a substance is calculated as-
![c= \frac{Q}{m[T'-T]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=c%3D%20%5Cfrac%7BQ%7D%7Bm%5BT%27-T%5D%7D)
Here c is the specific heat capacity.
The substance whose specific heat capacity is more will take more time to be heated up to a certain temperature as compared to a substance having low specific heat which is to be heated up to the same temperature.
As per the question John is experimenting on sand and water.Between sand and water,water has the specific heat 1 cal/gram per degree centigrade which is larger as compared to sand.Hence sand will be heated faster as compared to water.The substance which is heated faster will also cools faster.
From this experiment John concludes that water has more specific heat as compared to sand.
<span>AS T1,T2,T3 are the tensions in the ropes,assuming that there are Three blocks of mass 3m, 2m, and m.T3 is the string between 3m and 2m,T2 is the string between 2m and m ,T1 is the string attached to m thus T1 pulls the whole set of blocks along, so it must be the largest. T2 pulls the last
two masses, but T3 only pulls the last mass, so T3 < T2 < T1.</span>
