A simple pendulum consists of a 0.25-kg spherical mass attached to a massless string. When the mass is displaced slightly from its equilibrium position and released, the pendulum swings back and forth with a frequency of 2. Hz. What frequency would have resulted if a 0.50 kg mass (same diameter sphere) had been attached to the string instead?
A) 4. Hz
B) 1.41 Hz
C) 1. Hz
D) 2 $\pi$ Hz
E) 2. Hz
