In an oscillating spring-mass system,a spring is connected to a box filled with sand. As the box oscillates,sand leaks slowly out of the box vertically so that the average frequency $\omega(t)$ and average amplitude $A(t)$ of the system change with time $t$. Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly?

  • A
    Option A
  • B
    Option B
  • C
    Option C
  • D
