Answer to Question #127523 in Classical Mechanics for Ashley

Question

A mass tied to the end of a 1.0-m-long string is swinging back and forth. During each swing, it moves 4 cm from its lowest point to the right, then 4 cm to the left. One complete swing takes about 2 s. If the amplitude of motion is doubled, so the mass swings 8 cm to one side and then the other, the period of the motion will be
1 : 2 s
2 : 4 s
3 : 6 s
4 : 8 s

Answer 1

1:2 s
