    Two characteristics of simple harmonic motion are that the acceleration is directly proportional to displacement and directed towards the mean position, and the frequency does not depend on amplitude but rather on properties of the system like pendulum length or spring constant and mass. An ideal simple pendulum cannot be realized because the bob would need to be a point mass, the string weightless and inextensible, the support frictionless, and air resistance negligible.

    Short
    Questions

    Q.7.1. Name two characteristics os simple harmonic moi on?


    Ans. Two characteristics of simple harmonic motion is given below.
    (i) Acceleration of abody executing S.H.M is directly proportional to the displacement
    shown by the equation.
    and directed towards the mean position as

    Calculating frequency

    relation shows that -equency does not depends upon amplitude it depends upon the length of the
    simple pendulum.
    Similarly for spring mass system.

    also shows that frequency only depends upon the mass and not on the amplitude.
    Q.7.3. Can we realize an ideal simple pendulum*
    Ans. No we cannot realize an ideal simple pendulum for ideal simple pendulum conditions following
    must be fulfilled.
    (i)

    Bob r ust be very small (point mass).

    (ii)

    The suspension string must be weightless and inextensible.


    Support

    must be friction less.

    Air resistance must be negligible
