CHW 14 Conceptual Question 14.13 3 of 4 Part A Fles fup thei wings at fregaencies much too high for pure muscle action A hypothesis for how they achieve these high requencies s that the lapping of hel wings i the drven oscillation of a mass-spring system One way to test this is t It the oscilation of the wings can be modeled as a mass-spring system, how would this change the frequency of the wingbeats Trnming the wings will increase thee mass and this will increase the frequency of the wingb Trimming he wings weil increase their mass and this will decrease the frequency of the wingbeats Trinming the wigs will redace thel mass and this will decrease the frequency of the wingbeats Triesming the wigs will redce thei mass and his will increase the equency of the wingbeats Submi

Answer 1

Angular frequency w = sqrt (k/m)

angular frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of mass.

Since trimming of wings will reduce the mass , so frequency will increase.

Option 4th is correct.
