Explanation / Answer

(A) T = 2pi sqrt(m/k)

m -> 4m

then T -> 2 T

Ans : Period doubles

(B) ME = k A^2 / 2

k and A constant.

Mechanical energy will remain same.

(C) k A^2 /2 = m v_max^2 /2

v_max = A sqrt(k / m)

m -> 4m

v_max -> 1/2 v_max

halved.

(d) period is independent of A .

will remain same.


(e) ME = k A^2 / 2

A - > 2 A

them ME = 4 ME

increases by a fctor of four.

(f) v_max also doubled.
