Answer: To increase the rigidity of the system you could hold the ruler at its midpoint so that the part of the ruler that oscillates is half as long as in the original experiment.
Explanation:
When a rule is displaced from its vertical position, it oscillates back and forth because of the restoring force opposing the displacement. That is, when the rule is on the left there is a force to the right.
By holding a ruler with one hand and deforming it with the other a force is generated in the opposite direction which is known as the restoring force. The restoring force causes the ruler to move back toward its stable equilibrium position, where the net force on it is zero. The momentum gained causes the ruler to move to the right leading to opposite deformation. This moves the ruler again to the left. The whole process is repeated until dissipative forces reduce the motion causing the ruler to come to rest.
The relationship between restoring force and displacement was described by Hooke's law. This states that displacement or deformation is directly proportional to the deforming force applied.
F= -kx, where,
F= restoring force
x= displacement or deformation
k= constant related to the rigidity of the system.
Therefore, the larger the force constant, the greater the restoring force, and the stiffer the system.
Scientists have been observing Earth for a long time. They use NASA satellites and other instruments to collect many types of information about Earth's land, atmosphere, ocean and ice. This information tells us that Earth's climate is getting warmer.
Extra:
Extra greenhouse gases in our atmosphere are the main reason that Earth is getting warmer. Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane, trap the Sun's heat in Earth's atmosphere.
It's normal for there to be some greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. They help keep Earth warm enough to live on. But too many greenhouse gases can cause too much warming.
The burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil increase the amount of CO2 in our air. This happens because the burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2.
It's important that we monitor CO2 levels, because too much CO2 can cause too much warming on Earth. Several NASA missions have instruments that study CO2 in the atmosphere.

If the outside air temperature increases during a flight at constant power and at a constant indicated altitude, the true airspeed will Increase and true altitude will increase.
<h3>What is Altitude?</h3>
This refers to the vertical elevation of a body and is the measurement of the height above the sea or ground level. An airplane's altitude is directly proportional to the airspeed as long as the power is constant.
This means that increase in airspeed will lead to an increase in altitude and vie versa. This is the reason why as it runs fast, it can be observed that it begins to elevate.
