Correct Answer - B
The time of fall of the plate is calculated by using second kinematical equation of motion,
`s = (1)/(2) "gt"^(2)`
`:. t = sqrt((2s)/(g)) = sqrt((2 xx 0.1)/(9.8)) = (1)/(sqrt49) = (1)/(7)`
In time `t = (1)/(7)` s tuning fork complete 8 oscillations
`:.` In 1s number oscillations completed are,
`(1 xx 8)/((1)/(7)) = 7 xx 8 = 56 Hz`
