1.

Define simple harmonic motion (SHM). Give an example.

Answer»

A particle is said to have SHM if the acceleration of the particle is directly proportional to its displacement from the mean position and directed towards the mean position. 

E.g: 

1. Vertical oscillations of a loaded spring. 

2. Oscillations of bob of a simple pendulum. 

3. Vibrations of string of musical instruments. 

4. Motion of air particles during the propagation of sound waves. 

5. Vibration of a tuning fork.
