Answer:
<em>The period of the motion will still be equal to T.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
for a system with mass = M
attached to a massless spring.
If the system is set in motion with an amplitude (distance from equilibrium position) A
and has period T
The equation for the period T is given as
where k is the spring constant
If the amplitude is doubled, the distance from equilibrium position to the displacement is doubled.
Increasing the amplitude also increases the restoring force. An increase in the restoring force means the mass is now accelerated to cover more distance in the same period, so the restoring force cancels the effect of the increase in amplitude. Hence, <em>increasing the amplitude has no effect on the period of the mass and spring system.</em>
