  4.It cannot be calibrated at the top of the mountain.

Question 2

A mass, m, is hung from a spring that has a spring constant, k, and the system is set into oscillation. The period of the oscillation is measured and recorded as T. If the mass is doubled and the spring is replaced by a less-stiff one that has half the spring constant, k/2, what will happen to the subsequent period of oscillation of the new spring-mass combination?
  1.It will remain the same.
  2.It will quadruple.
  3.It will double.
