  • B$\frac{1}{n^2}$
  • C$n^2$
  • D$\frac{1}{n}$

    A particle of mass $1\, {kg}$ is hanging from a spring of force constant $100\, {Nm}^{-1 .}$ The mass is pulled slightly downward and released so that it executes free simple harmonic motion with time period ${T}$. The time when the kinetic energy and potential energy of the system will become equal, is $\frac{{T}}{{x}}$. The value of ${x}$ is ..... .
