Question

eral examples in everyday life of motion that is at least of sev ely simple harmonic. In what respects does each differ fhom SHEMt : The analysis simple pass of the spring. f Siis of simple harmonic motion in this chapter ignored the frequency of the motion? Explain your reasoning How would the spring's mass affect the period

Answer 1

In Simple harmonic motion, the restoring force (F) is proportional to the displacement (x). In other words, there’s a distance an object travels then a force pulls it back to its original position—then this repeats over and over.

we can define it with simple equation F = -K * X where F is force and X is displacement from equilibrium and K is a constant

e.g. (1)- Pendulum of a cock - Ideally if the clock is working fine it should be same as SHM but of battery is low it will leave SHM and start damping and slowly top moving

(2)-Guitar strings - if the string is following the same path and coming in the same palace, again and again, its SHM but as we use the guitar to make different voices it doesn't follow actual SHM
