Concept explainers

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…

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 tak…

Textbook Question

Chapter 11, Problem 7Q

Two equal masses are attached to separate identical springs next to one another. One mass is pulled so its spring stretches 40 cm and the other is pulled so its spring stretches only 20 cm. The masses are released simultaneously. Which mass reaches the equilibrium point first?
