KINEMATICS OF S.H.M.
A particle has S.H.M. along the axis OX when its displacement x relative to the origin of coordinate system is
given as a function of time by the relation.
x A sin wt
The quantity wt is called the phase angle of the SHM and is called the initial phase i.e. phase at t = 0 .
The maximum displacement from the origin A, is called the amplitude of the SHM.

g
The ime period is independent of mass.
(ii) If the time period of a simple pendulum is 2 seconds, it is called seconds pendulum.
(iii) If the length of the pendulum is large, g no longer remain vertical but will be directed towards the centre of
the earth and then time period.
