Question
A metal foot ruler is held at the edge of a table. It is pressed at its free end and then released. It vibrates.
- Name the vibrations produced.
- State one way to increase the frequency of these vibrations.

Solution
- Vibrations produced are damped vibrations.
- Reducing the length of the free end from the table's edge will increase the vibration frequency.
