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 and average amplitude of the system change with time . Which one of the following options schematically depicts these changes correctly [2025]

As the box oscillates, sand leaks slowly out of the box which leads to decrease in effective mass of the bob. As frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of , hence average frequency increases and amplitude will decrease due to dissipation of energy.
