    A metre stick swinging in vertical plane about a fixed horizontal axis passing through its one end undergoes small oscillation of frequency \[{{f}_{0}}.\]If the bottom half of the stick were cut off, then its new frequency of small oscillation would become-

    A) \[{{f}_{0}}\]              

    B) \[\sqrt{2}{{f}_{0}}\]

    C) \[2{{f}_{0}}\]              

    D) \[2\sqrt{2}{{f}_{0}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    \[{{f}_{0}}=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{mg\ell }{\ell }}\] where, \[\ell \] is the distance between point of suspension and centre of mass of the body. Thus, for the stick of length L and mass m, \[{{f}_{0}}=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{mg\frac{L}{4}}{\frac{m}{2}\frac{{{(L/2)}^{2}}}{12}}}=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{12g}{L}}=\sqrt{2\,}{{f}_{0}}\]
