A mass x gram is suspended from a light spring. It is pulled in downward direction and released so that mass performs S.H.M. of period T. If mass is increased by \(Y\) gram, the period becomes \(4 T / 3\). The ratio of \(\mathrm{Y} / \mathrm{x}\) is

  1. A \(7: 9\)
  2. B \(5: 4\)
  3. C \(3: 2\)
  4. D \(8: 7\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(7: 9\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(T = 2\pi\sqrt{x/k}\) \(4T/3 = 2\pi\sqrt{(x+Y)/k}\)
