2. CONTEXTUAL APPLICATION
This motion is used to model many real life-situations in our daily life.
1. Swing
Swings that we see in the park is an example of simple harmonic motion. The
back and forth, repetitive movements of the swing against the restoring force is
the simple harmonic motion.
2. Pendulum
The pendulum oscillating back and forth from the mean position is an example of
simple harmonic motion.
3. Bungee Jumping
Bungee Jumping is an example of simple harmonic motion. The jumper oscillating
up and down is undergoing SHM due to the elasticity of the bungee cord.
4. Cradle
The back and forth movement of the cradle is caused due to a single push and is
maintained by the principle of SHM, and hence, causing the baby to sleep.
5. Hearing
The process of hearing is impossible without simple harmonic motion. The
soundwaves that enter our ear causes the eardrum to vibrate back and forth.
DEF: When an object moves to and fro or back and forth along
the same line, it is called a simple harmonic motion(SHM).
3.
4. After studying the material of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. State the conditions required to produce SHM.
2. Determine the period of motion of an object of mass m attached to a spring of
force constant k.
3. Calculate the velocity, acceleration, potential, and kinetic energy at any point in
the motion of an object undergoing SHM.
4. Write equations for displacement, velocity, and acceleration as sinusoidal
functions of time for an object undergoing SHM if the amplitude and angular
velocity of the motion are known. Use these equations to determine the
displacement, velocity, and acceleration at a particular moment of time.
5. Derive the period of a simple pendulum of length L.
6. Differentiate between Damped and driven harmonic motion and resonance
7. Performs calculations related to elastic deformation, stress, strain and Hooks’
law.

26. A simple pendulum consists of a particle attached
to a frictionless pivot by a cable of negligible mass
When the particle is pulled away from its
equilibrium position by an angle and
released, it swings back and forth
Gravity causes the back-and-forth rotation about the axis. The rotation speeds
up as the particle approaches the lowest point and slows down on the upward
part of the swing.
We denote the position of the pendulum along the circle of arc by, s, where we
choose s=0 to correspond to the equilibrium. In terms of the angle, which the
cord of the pendulum makes with the vertical direction we have

29. 13. REASONING AND SOLUTION From the drawing given with the problem statement, we see that

and the maximum static frictional force on the top block (#2) is

Newton’s second law horizontally applied to the bottom block gives

f /k = µsm2g/k = (0.900)(15.0 kg)(9.80 m/s

)/(325 N/m) = 0.407 m
b. Solving Equation (3) for F and then using Equation (1) to substitute for fk1, we find
that
F = kx + fk1 = kx + µk(m1 + m2)g
F = (325 N/m)(0.407 m) + (0.600)(45.0 kg)(9.80 m/s

, where k is the spring constant and x0

31. 27. REASONING As the block falls, only two forces act on it: its weight and the
elastic force of the spring. Both of these forces are conservative forces, so the falling
block obeys the principle of conservation of mechanical energy. We will use this
conservation principle to determine the spring constant of the spring. Once the spring
constant is known, Equation 10.11, /
k m
, may be used to find the angular
frequency of the block’s vibrations.
SOLUTION
a. The conservation of mechanical energy states that the final total
mechanical energy Ef is equal to the initial total mechanical energy E0, or Ef = E0
(Equation 6.9a). The expression for the total mechanical energy of an object
oscillating on a spring is given by Equation 10.14. Thus, the conservation of total
mechanical energy can be written as
2 2 2 2 2 2

f f f f 0 0 0 0
2 2 2 2 2 2
f 0
mv I m g h k y mv I m g h k y
E E
Before going any further, let’s simplify this equation by noting which variables are
zero. Since the block starts and ends at rest, vf = v0 = 0 m/s. The block does not rotate,
so its angular speed is zero, f = 0 = 0 rad/s. Initially, the spring is unstretched, so
that y0 = 0 m. Setting these terms equal to zero in the equation above gives 2

b. The angular frequency of the block’s vibrations depends on the spring
constant k and the mass m of the block:
32. 43. REASONING As the ball swings down, it reaches it greatest speed at the lowest
point in the motion. One complete cycle of the pendulum has four parts: the
downward motion in which the ball attains its greatest speed at the lowest point, the
subsequent upward motion in which the ball slows down and then momentarily comes
to rest. The ball then retraces its motion, finally ending up where it originally began.
The time it takes to reach the lowest point is one-quarter of the period of the
pendulum, or t = (1/4)T. The period is related to the angular frequency of the
pendulum by Equation 10.4, T = 2/. Thus, the time for the ball to reach its lowest
point is

The angular frequency of the pendulum depends on its length L and the acceleration

33. 45. REASONING
a. The angular frequency of a simple pendulum can be found directly from
Equation 10.16 as /
g L
, where g is the magnitude of the acceleration due
to gravity and L is the length of the pendulum.
b. The total mechanical energy of the pendulum as it swings back and forth is the
gravitational potential energy it has just before it is released, since the pendulum
is released from rest and has no initial kinetic energy. The reason is that friction
is being neglected, and the tension in the cable is always perpendicular to the
motion of the bob, so the tension does no work. Thus, the work done by
nonconservative forces, such as friction and tension, is zero. This means that the
total mechanical energy is conserved (see Equation 6.9b) and is the same at all
points along the motion, including the initial point where the bob is released.
c. To find the speed of the bob as it passes through the lowest point of the swing, we
will use the conservation of energy, which relates the total mechanical energy at
the lowest point to that at the highest point.
a. The angular frequency of the pendulum is
2
9.80 m/s
3.5 rad/s
0.79 m

L
(10.16)
b. At the moment the pendulum is released, the only type of energy it has is its
gravitational potential energy. Thus, its potential energy PE is equal to its initial
total mechanical energy E0, so PE = E0. According to Equation 6.5, the potential
energy of the pendulum is PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the bob and h is its
height above its equilibrium position (i.e., its position when the pendulum hangs
straight down). The drawing shows that this height is related to the length L of
the pendulum by
1 cos5.50

. Thus, the total mechanical energy of the
pendulum is

35. 10.5 Damped Harmonic Motion
In simple harmonic motion, an object oscillated
with a constant amplitude.
In reality, friction or some other energy
dissipating mechanism is always present
and the amplitude decreases as time
passes.
This is referred to as damped harmonic
motion.
37. 10.6 Driven Harmonic Motion and Resonance
When a force is applied to an oscillating system at all times,
the result is driven harmonic motion.
Here, the driving force has the same frequency as the
spring system and always points in the direction of the
object’s velocity.
38. 10.6 Driven Harmonic Motion and Resonance
RESONANCE
Resonance is the condition in which a time-dependent force can transmit
large amounts of energy to an oscillating object, leading to a large amplitude
motion.
Resonance occurs when the frequency of the force matches a natural
frequency at which the object will oscillate.

To determine F, we examine the following free-body diagram of the skier. For
convenience, the +x direction is taken to be parallel to the slope and to point

Three forces act on the skier in the x direction: (1) the towing force (magnitude = F),
(2) the frictional force (magnitude = f ) exerted on the skis by the snow, and (3) the
component of the skier’s weight that is parallel to the x axis (magnitude =
W sin12 = mg sin 12). This component is shown to the right of the free-body

55. 81. REASONING Since the
surface is frictionless, we
can apply the principle of
conservation of mechanical
energy, which indicates
that the total mechanical
energy of the spring/mass
system is the same at the
instant the block contacts the bottle (the final state of the system) and at
the instant shown in the drawing (the initial state). Kinetic energy 2
1
2
mv
is one part of the total mechanical energy, and depends on the mass m and
the speed v of the block. The dependence of the kinetic energy on speed
is critical to our solution. In order for the block to knock over the bottle,
it must at least reach the bottle. When launched with the minimum speed
v0
shown in the drawing, the block will reach the bottle with a final speed
of vf
= 0 m/s. We will obtain the desired initial speed v0
by solving the
energy-conservation equation for this variable.

x = 0 m

56. SOLUTION The conservation of mechanical energy states that the final
total mechanical energy Ef
is equal to the initial total mechanical energy
E0
. The expression for the total mechanical energy for a spring/mass
system is given by Equation 10.14, so that we have

Since the block does not rotate, the angular speeds f
and 0
are zero.
Moreover, the block reaches the bottle with a final speed of vf
= 0 m/s
when the block is launched with the minimum initial speed v0
. In
addition, the surface is horizontal, so that the final and initial heights, hf
and h0
, are the same. Thus, the above expression can be simplified as
follows: 2 2 2

In this result, we are given no values for the spring constant k and the mass m.
However, we are given a value for the angular frequency . This frequency is given
by Equation 10.11

, which involves only the ratio k/m. Therefore, in
solving the simplified energy-conservation expression for the speed v0

both sides by m, so that the ratio k/m can be expressed using Equation 10.11.
