Simple Harmonic Motion: Pendulum of Clock Replaced by Spring-Mass

[hermy]

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data

The pendulum of a clock is replaced by a spring-mass system with the spring having spring constant 0.1 N/m. What mass should be attached to the spring?


2. Relevant equations

T=2 pi (m/k)1/2

3. The attempt at a solution

1 = 2 pi (m/0.1)1/2
1 = 4 pi2 m/0.1

solving this, m= 25 grams

The answer is supposed to be 10 grams. What is wrong in my solution?

Thanks for the help.

You're off by a factor of 10.

You are assuming that the period is 1 second. Was that specified in the problem? (Was information given about the pendulum?)

I'm sorry, this question turned out to be quite easy. I came to know that the time period of a pendulum clock is 2s. Putting all this together, the answer does come out. Thanks for the help.
