उत्तर
Given:
Spring constant, k =0.1 N/m
Time period of the pendulum of clock, T = 2 s
Mass attached to the string, m, is to be found.
The relation between time period and spring constant is given as,
\[2 = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\]
\[ \Rightarrow \pi^2 \left( \frac{m}{0 . 1} \right) = 1\]
\[ \therefore m = \frac{0 . 1}{\pi^2} = \frac{0 . 1}{10}\]
\[ = 0 . 01 kg \approx 10 g\]
