Problem

A vertical mass–spring system has mass m1=0.40 kgm_1 = 0.40\,\text{kg} and spring constant k=160 N m−1k = 160\,\text{N\,m}^{-1}. An additional mass m2=0.60 kgm_2 = 0.60\,\text{kg} is gently attached to the mass without changing the spring. The ratio of the new natural angular frequency to the original one is closest to (a) 1.581.58 (b) 0.400.40 (c) 2.502.50 (d) 0.630.63
