प्रश्न
When will the motion of a simple pendulum be simple harmonic?
उत्तर
Simple pendulum performs angular S.H.M. Consider the bob of a simple pendulum is displaced through an angle θ shown. Q
The restoring torque about the fixed point O is τ = mgl sinθ
If θ is the small angle in radians, then sin θ = 0
⇒ mglθ
In vector form τ ∝ θ
Hence, the motion of a simple pendulum is SHM for small angles of oscillations.
