Simple Harmonic Motion

Defn: any periodic motion that is the result of a restoring

force that is proportional to displacement.

Period = T (seconds per cycle)

Frequency = f = 1/T (cycles per second)

Angular frequency =  = 2  f = 2  /T

Harmonic Motion

Amplitude in SHM

• In SHM, the maximum displacement from equilibrium is defined as the amplitude of the vibration.

– A pendulum’s amplitude

= swing angle from the vertical (

Dq

= radians)

– For a mass-spring system, the amplitude is the maximum amount the spring is stretched or compressed from its equilibrium position. (

D x = meters)

Motion

Hooke’s Law

• One type of periodic motion is the motion of a mass attached to a spring.

• The direction of the force acting on the mass ( F elastic

) is always opposite the direction of the mass’s displacement from equilibrium ( x = 0).

Motion

Hooke’s Law, continued

At equilibrium:

• The spring force and the mass’s acceleration become zero.

• The speed reaches a maximum.

At maximum displacement :

• The spring force and the mass’s acceleration reach a maximum.

• The speed becomes zero.

Motion

Hooke’s Law, continued

• Measurements show that the spring force, or restoring force, is directly proportional to the displacement of the mass.

• This relationship is known as Hooke’s Law:

F elastic

= – kx spring force = –(spring constant  displacement)

• The quantity k is a positive constant called the spring constant.

2. Plan

Choose an equation or situation: When the mass is attached to the spring,the equilibrium position changes. At the new equilibrium position, the net force acting on the mass is zero. So the spring force

(given by Hooke’s law) must be equal and opposite to the weight of the mass.

Substitute the values into the equation and solve: k   mg x

–0.020 m k  270 N/m

4. Evaluate

The value of k implies that 270 N of force is required to displace the spring 1 m.

The Simple Pendulum

• A simple pendulum consists of a mass called a bob, which is attached to a fixed string.

• At any displacement from equilibrium, the weight of the bob ( F g

) can be resolved into two components.

• The x component ( F g,x

= F g sin q

) is the only force acting on the bob in the direction of its motion and thus is the restoring force.

The forces acting on the bob at any point are the force exerted by the string and the gravitational force.

Section 1 Simple Harmonic

Motion

The Simple Pendulum, continued

• The magnitude of the restoring force

( F g,x

= F g sin q

) is proportional to sin q

.

• When the maximum angle of displacement q is relatively small

(<15 °), sin q is approximately equal to q in radians.

• As a result, the restoring force is very nearly proportional to the displacement .

• Thus, the pendulum’s motion is an excellent approximation of simple harmonic motion.
