# A 2 kg mass is attached to a spring with spring constant k = 100 N/m and negligible mass.

A \( 2 \, \text{kg}\) mass is attached to a spring with spring constant \( k = 100 \, \text{N/m}\) and negligible mass.

**Part a)** What will be the period of oscillation of the system if the spring is stretched by i) 0.5 m and ii) 1 m? *(3 points)*

**Part b)** How will the period change if the mass is doubled? *(3 points)*

**Part c)** Justify your answer to (b) in terms of the spring force on the mass. *(3 points)*
