Problem

Two separate mass–spring systems are set up. System P: mass 0.50 kg0.50\,\text{kg}, spring constant 80 N m−180\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}. System Q: mass 0.80 kg0.80\,\text{kg}, spring constant 200 N m−1200\,\text{N}\,\text{m}^{-1}. Which of the following statements about their time periods TPT_P and TQT_Q is correct? a) TP=TQT_P = T_Q b) TP>TQT_P > T_Q c) TP<TQT_P < T_Q d) Comparison is not possible without knowing the amplitude
