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
**Scenario:**
A wheel on an indoor exercise bike (a spinning bike) accelerates steadily from 130 rpm to 280 rpm in 4.5 seconds. The radius of the wheel is 42 cm.
**Question:**
Determine the tangential component of the linear acceleration of a point on the edge of the wheel 2.0 seconds after it has started accelerating.
**Instructions:**
Express your answer using two significant figures.
### Calculation
To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:
1. **Convert rpm to radians per second (rad/s):**
\[
1 \, \text{rpm} = \frac{2\pi}{60} \, \text{rad/s}
\]
- Initial angular velocity (\( \omega_i \)):
\[
130 \, \text{rpm} \times \frac{2\pi}{60} \approx 13.6 \, \text{rad/s}
\]
- Final angular velocity (\( \omega_f \)):
\[
280 \, \text{rpm} \times \frac{2\pi}{60} \approx 29.3 \, \text{rad/s}
\]
2. **Calculate angular acceleration (\( \alpha \)):**
\[
\alpha = \frac{\omega_f - \omega_i}{t}
\]
\[
\alpha = \frac{29.3 \, \text{rad/s} - 13.6 \, \text{rad/s}}{4.5 \, \text{s}} \approx 3.48 \, \text{rad/s}^2
\]
3. **Find angular velocity after 2.0 seconds (\( \omega \)):**
\[
\omega = \omega_i + \alpha t
\]
\[
\omega = 13.6 \, \text{rad/s} + 3.48 \, \text{rad/s}^2 \times 2 \, \text{s} \approx 20.6 \, \text{rad/s}
\]
4. **Determine the tangential acceleration (\( a_t \)):**
\[
a_t = r\alpha
\]
- Radius (\( r \)):
