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…

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 14, Problem 5P

A heavy steel ball is hung from a cord to make a pendulum. The ball is pulled to the side so that the cord makes a 5° angle with the vertical. Holding the ball in place takes a force of 20 N. If the ball is pulled farther to the side so that the cord makes a 10° angle, what force is required to hold the ball?
