    To make the frequency double of an oscillator, we have to [CPMT 1999]

    A)            Double the mass

    B)            Half the mass

    C)            Quadruple the mass

    D)            Reduce the mass to one-fourth

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

               \[\omega =\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\Rightarrow \frac{{{\omega }_{2}}}{{{\omega }_{1}}}\]\[=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}}\Rightarrow 2=\sqrt{\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{{{m}_{2}}}}\Rightarrow {{m}_{2}}=\frac{{{m}_{1}}}{4}\]
