The cons An oscillating mass at the end of a spring is at a distance y from its equilibrium position given by y= A sin Find the first positive time time ti at which the mass is farthest from its equilibrium position: tı %3D Find the first positive time t2 at which the mass is moving fastest: t2 Find the first positive time t3 at which the mass has the largest acceleration (in magnitude): t3 What is the period, T, of the oscillation? T %3D Find dT/dm: %D (What does the sign of dT/dm tell you?)
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.
