Answered & Verified by Expert
A mass $M$ is suspended from a spring of negligible mass. The spring is pulled a little and then released so that the mass executes simple harmonic oscillations with a time period $T$. If the mass is increased by $m$, then the time period becomes $\left(\frac{5}{4} T\right)$. The ratio of $\frac{m}{M}$ is

The correct answer is:
$9 / 16$
$T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{M}{K}}$ and $T_1=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{M+m}{K}}$
or $\frac{T_1}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{M+m}{M}}$ or $\frac{5}{4}=\left(1+\frac{m}{M}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
or $\frac{m}{M}=\frac{25}{16}-1=\frac{9}{16}$
$\left(\because T_1=\frac{5}{4} T\right)$
or $\frac{T_1}{T}=\sqrt{\frac{M+m}{M}}$ or $\frac{5}{4}=\left(1+\frac{m}{M}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$
or $\frac{m}{M}=\frac{25}{16}-1=\frac{9}{16}$
$\left(\because T_1=\frac{5}{4} T\right)$
