An object of mass m is suspended by a spring from a fixed point. spring object of mass m The spring has spring constant k. The object is set into vertical oscillations of period T. Which equation for T is homogeneous with respect to base units?

This question uses a diagram from the original paper, which isn't shown here. Open the full paper from the past papers archive to see it.

AT = 2π√(k/m)

BT = 2π√(m/k)

CT = 2π√k / m

DT = 2π√m / k

✓ Correct answer

D: T = 2π√m / k
