Simple harmonic motion
Simple harmonic motion is a type of periodic motion in which an object undergoes oscillatory motion. The restoring force exerted by the object exhibiting SHM is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. The force is directed towards the mean position. We see many examples of SHM around us, common ones are the motion of a pendulum, spring and vibration of strings in musical instruments, and so on.
Simple Pendulum
A simple pendulum comprises a heavy mass (called bob) attached to one end of the weightless and flexible string.
Oscillation
In Physics, oscillation means a repetitive motion that happens in a variation with respect to time. There is usually a central value, where the object would be at rest. Additionally, there are two or more positions between which the repetitive motion takes place. In mathematics, oscillations can also be described as vibrations. The most common examples of oscillation that is seen in daily lives include the alternating current (AC) or the motion of a moving pendulum.

**Problem Statement:**
Rank each pendulum on the basis of the maximum kinetic energy it attains after release.
Rank from largest to smallest. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them.
**Images of Pendulums:**
1. **Pendulum 1:**
- Height (h) = 45 cm
- Mass (m) = 3 kg
2. **Pendulum 2:**
- Height (h) = 30 cm
- Mass (m) = 4 kg
3. **Pendulum 3:**
- Height (h) = 15 cm
- Mass (m) = 8 kg
4. **Pendulum 4:**
- Height (h) = 60 cm
- Mass (m) = 2 kg
5. **Pendulum 5:**
- Height (h) = 60 cm
- Mass (m) = 1 kg
**Interactive Elements:**
- The interface allows you to drag images to arrange them from largest to smallest kinetic energy.
- Use the "View Available Hint(s)" option for guidance.
- Options to "Reset" and "Help" are available at the top right.
**Explanation of Diagrams:**
Each image shows a pendulum at its maximum height before release. The height and mass are variables affecting the pendulum's potential energy, which converts to kinetic energy as it swings down. To determine the maximum kinetic energy, consider the formula for gravitational potential energy: \(PE = mgh\), where \(g\) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²).
*Remember, kinetic energy will be greatest when potential energy is highest at the start.*](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F19b290aa-7f0f-46ee-aafa-6646da4a00a3%2F5a4d2dcc-5f23-4419-a370-0da0a9304a2b%2Fm95b4mj_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
