What is the time period of a mass-spring system if the mass attached to the spring is 500 g and its spring constant is 20 N/m?

Time period of a mass-spring system:

The formula for the time period of a mass-spring system is:

T=2π√m/k

Where:

  • m=500 g=0.5 kg(convert to kg),
  • k=20 N/m is the spring constant.

Substitute the values:

T=2π√0.5/20

T≈2π×0.158≈0.993 s
