Problem

A mass connected to an ideal spring oscillates with a period T when it is released from rest at a position A from equilibrium. Which one of the following choices correctly identifies the period of oscillation for the mass connected to the same spring when it is released from rest at a position 2A from equilibrium? (A) 14T\frac{1}{4}T (B) 12T\frac{1}{2}T (C) TT (D) 2T2T (E) 4T4T
