0 1 A hacksaw blade is a thin flexible strip of metal.
Figure 1 shows a blade clamped between two blocks above a horizontal bench.
A pen is attached to the free end of the blade.
Figure 1
The free end of the blade is displaced and released.
The blade oscillates in a horizontal plane as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2
The time for each oscillation is T.
