Answer:

C. 6π s

Step-by-step explanation:

Time period of a mass-spring system


\sf T=2 \pi \sqrt{(m)/(k)

where:

  • T = time period (s)
  • m - mass (kg)
  • k = spring constant (N m⁻¹)

Given:

  • m = 9 kg
  • k = 1 N m⁻¹

Substitute the given values into the formula:


\implies \sf T=2 \pi \sqrt{(9)/(1)


\implies \sf T=2 \pi √(9)


\implies \sf T=2 \pi (3)


\implies \sf T=6 \pi \:\:s

C. 6 πs

Answer:

Solution Given:

Mass of the string [m]=9kg

Spring constant [k]= 1N//m

Period [T]=?

weight of the body [F] =9*10=90 N

we have

Time period [T] =
2\pi \sqrt{(m)/(k)}=
2\pi \sqrt{ *(9)/(1)}=6
\pi second
