Problem

A ball of mass of 10 g is hung from the end of a light vertical spring and set oscillating with an amplitude of 10 cm. The period of the oscillation is 1 s. If the ball is now replaced by another with a mass of 40 g and again set oscillating with the same amplitude, its new period of oscillation will be, (a) 1 s. (b) 2 s. (c) 4 s. (d) 8 s.
