Q4. State the conditions under which a body must travel if it is to move with simple harmonic motion. An object of mass 2kg moves with simple harmonic motion with a frequency of 1.5Hz and amplitude of 200mm. Find: i) The max. velocity ii) The velocity at 100mm iii) The max. acceleration iv) The acceleration at 100mm v) The max. restoring force vi) The restoring force at 100mm
An oscillation follows simple harmonic motion if it satisfies the following two rules:
(1) Acceleration is always in the opposite direction to the displacement from the equilibrium position.
(2) Acceleration is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position.
