15.1 Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 2.5

A mass m0m_{0} is attached to a spring and hung vertically. The mass is raised a short distance in the vertical direction and released. The mass oscillates with a frequency f0f_{0}. If the mass is replaced with a mass nine times as large, and the experiment was repeated, what would be the frequency of the oscillations in terms of f0f_{0} ?
