Write down the difference between simple harmonic motion and angular simple harmonic motion.

Answer»

Comparision of simple harmonic motion and angular harmonic motion

S. No.Simple Harmonic motionAngular Harmonic motion
1. The displacement of the particle is measured in terms of linear displacement \(\vec r\).The displacement of the particle is measured in terms of angular displacement \(\vec θ\) (also known as angle of twist).
2.Acceleration of the particle is \(\vec a = -ω ^2\vec r\)Angular acceleration of the particle is  \(\vec a\) = -\(-ω^2 \vec θ\)
3.Force, \(\vec F\) = m\(\vec a\), where m is called mass of the particle.Torque \(\vec{\tau}\)= I \(\vec a\),Where I is called moment of inertia of a body.
4.The restoring force \(\vec F\) = -k\(\vec r\), where k is restoring force constant.

 The restoring torque  \(\vec {\tau}\) = -k\(\vec θ\) Where the symbol κ(Greek alphabet is pronounced as 'kappa') is called restoring torsion constant. it depends on the property of a partucular torsion fiber.

5.Angular frequency, ω \(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m}}\) rad s-1Angular frequency, ω = \(\sqrt{\frac{k}{I}}\) rad s-1
