Question

What is the period if the block’s mass is doubled? note that you do not know the value of either m or k , so do not assume any particular values for them. The required analysis involves thinking about ratios.

Answer 1

The period of the block's mass is changed by a factor of √2 when the mass of the block was doubled.

The time period T of the block with mass M attached to a spring of spring constant K is given by,

T = 2π(√M/K).

Let us say that, when we increased the mass to 2M, the time periods of the block became T', the spring constant is not changed, so, we can write,

T' = 2π(√2M/K)

Putting T = 2π(√M/K) above,

T' =√2T

So, here we can see, if the mass is doubled from it's initial value. The time period of the mass will be changed by a factor of √2.
