How will the period of oscillation of the load on the spring change if the weight of the load is reduced by 4 times?

In order to solve this problem, you need some knowledge about spring pendulums.

To begin with, we write down the formula for the oscillation period of a spring pendulum:

T = 2П√ (m / k);

T is the oscillation period.

P is a constant that is 3.14.

m is the mass of the cargo.

k is the stiffness of the spring.

If the weight of the cargo is reduced by 4 times, then it will turn out:

√ (m / 4);

If we calculate √4, then we get 2. It follows that the period of oscillation of the load will decrease by 2 times.

Answer: will decrease by 2 times.
