The correct answer is: $1 \mathrm{~kg}$
$\mathrm{n} \propto \sqrt{\mathrm{T}} \quad \frac{\mathrm{n}_{1}}{\mathrm{n}_{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}_{1}}{\mathrm{~T}_{2}}}$
$\frac{1}{2}=\left(\frac{T}{T+3}\right)^{1 / 2} \Rightarrow \frac{1}{4}=\frac{T}{T+3}$
$1+\frac{3}{T}=4$
$\frac{3}{T}=3 \Rightarrow T=1 \mathrm{~kg}$
