A long, flexible, and very light strip of metal, such as a saw blade, is clamped

Question

A long, flexible, and very light strip of metal, such as a saw blade, is clamped to the edge of a table, extending horizontally over the edge like a miniature diving board. When a gob of putty is placed on the end, the strip sags and comes to a new equilibrium position with its tip a distance 1.0 cm below its original position. If the end of the strip is then ligltly tapped, its tip will oscillate in simple harmonic morion. With what frequency should the tip be tapped to make the strip oscillate with maximum amplitude?

Explanation / Answer

MAX AMPLITUDE IS OBTAINED WHEN THE BLADE IS TAPPED WITH ITS NATURAL FREQUENCY...PLSS RATEE
