A uniform rigid slender bar of mass 10 kg. is hinged at the left end is suspended with the help of spring and damper arrangement as shown in the figure where K = 2kN/m, C = 500Ns/m and the stiffness of the torsion spring Kq is 1 kN/m/rad. Ignore the hinge dimensions
- The un-damped natural frequency of oscillations of the bar about the hinge point is
(a) 42.43 rad/s (b) 30 rad/s
(c) 17.32 rad/s (d) 14.14 rad/s
