If the angular frequency of small oscillations of a thin uniform vertical rod of mass m and length λ hinged at the point O (Fig.) is
, then find n. The force constant for each spring is K/2 and take K =
. The springs are of negligible mass. (g = 10 m/s 2 )

CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(75)
For small Angular displacement

Restoring torque about point
(mg
sin θ ) + (K λ sin θ ) λ =
α , (for small θ sin θ ≈ θ )
α = 
⇒ α =
θ = – ω 2 θ
So angular speed ω = 
ω =
= 
∴ N = 75
