What is the formula for the period (T) of a simple harmonic oscillator in terms of mass (m) and spring constant (k)?
A. (T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}})
B. (T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}})
C. (T = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}})
D. (T = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{k}{m}})
What happens to the frequency of a simple harmonic oscillator when the mass is increased, assuming the spring constant remains constant?
