Reason (R): The spring constant is large for hard spring.
Solution:
The periodic time of a spring is given by `\(T = 2\pi\sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}\)`.
A hard spring has a large spring constant `\(k\)`, which means a smaller `\(T\)`. A soft spring has a small `\(k\)`, hence a larger `\(T\)`. Both A and R are true, and R explains A.
