Question

Which of the following will oscillate the fastest?
A.A large mass on a weak spring
B. A large mass on a stiff spring
C. A small mass on a stiff spring
D. A small mass on a weak spring

Answer 1

A small mass on a stiff spring ...is Ur answer

Answer 2

A small mass on a stiff spring oscillates fastest. (option C)

• The Spring constant of a stiff spring is high.
• When the spring constant is high then the time period decreases and frequency is increased.
• There are oscillations of the stiff spring fast when the above criteria are satisfied.
• The other options are wrong as it does not obey the mentioned criteria.
• Therefore, the correct option is C.
