Solution

The correct option is B 4.5 Hz
The angular frequency of free oscillations is given by
ω0=km
From the data given in the question, we get
ω0=40005=28.28 rad/s
Let ω be the angular frequency of damped oscillations.
Then,
ω=ω20γ2
Given, γ=0.2
ω=(28.28)2(0.2)2=28.27 rad/s
f=ω2π=28.272×3.144.5 Hz
Thus, option (b) is the correct answer.
