    A rod of mass 'M' and length '2L' is suspended at its middle by a wire. It exhibits torsional oscillations; If two masses each of 'm' are attached at distance ?L/2? from its centre on both sides, it reduces the oscillation frequency by 20%. The value of ratio m/M is close to:

    A) 0.77     

    B) 0.57

    C) 0.37

    D) 0.17

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{C}{\left( \frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{3} \right)}}\]
    And      \[0.8f=\frac{1}{2\pi }\sqrt{\frac{C}{\left( \frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{3}+\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{2} \right)}}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{25}{16}=\frac{\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{3}+\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{2}}{\frac{M{{L}^{2}}}{3}}\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{25}{16}+1+\frac{3m}{2M}\]
    \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{9}{16}=\frac{3m}{2M}\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[\frac{m}{M}=\frac{3}{8}=0.37.\]
