k = spring constant of the spring = 100 N/m
m = mass hanging from the spring = 0.71 kg
T = Time period of the spring's motion = ?
Time period of the oscillations of the mass hanging is given as
T = (2π) √(m/k)
inserting the values in the above equation
T = (2 x 3.14) √(0.71 kg/100 N/m)
T = (6.28) √(0.0071 sec²)
T = (6.28) (0.084) sec
T = 0.53 sec
hence the correct choice is D) 0.53
