A freely suspended pendulum in air is disturbed once and left to oscillate on its own: State one way to decrease the frequency of this vibration.
Explanation
The frequency of a pendulum's vibration can be decreased by increasing the length of the pendulum, but in this case, it's mentioned that the pendulum is freely suspended and left to oscillate on its own. One way to decrease the frequency of this vibration is by increasing the damping force, which can be achieved by placing a small piece of cloth or a paper near the pendulum to increase air resistance.
