TRANSCRIPT
DEFINITION
When a body moves to and fro, about its position of equilibrium, along the same straight line so that it repeats its motion.
VIBRATORY MOTION
DEFINITION
If motion of a body is such that
•Its acceleration is always directed to the mean position.
•Acceleration is directly proportional to the displacement from mean position. Then body is said to be in state of Simple Harmonic Motion.
MASS ATTACHED TO A SPRING
Let’s consider a mass “m”
•attached to one end of the spring.
•Placed on horizontal surface
•On frictionless place
•The other end is fixed to a rigid body.
Consider figure “a”
•Mass-spring system is in equilibrium
•No extension in the spring
•Displacement is zero
•No force acting on it
Figure aDisplacement = 0Acceleration = 0
Net Force = 0
When an external force Fext is applied
Spring is extended Extension is denoted by “x” Position of spring changes from “o” to “a”
Figure b
Displacement = maxVelocity = 0
Net Force = maxAcceleration = maxKinetic Energy = 0
The relation between Fext and x can be given by using Hook's law i.e
Fext α x Fext = (constant) x
Fext = Kx
K = Fext / x
Where “K” is called Spring Constant. Its unit is N/m.
When spring is released then,External force becomes absent. It comes to its original length.This motion is due to ‘restoring force’
External ForceRestoring force
For restoring force Fre = - Kx
This force is the cause of acceleration in the mass “m”.By applying Newton’s law,
Fre = ma
Then ma = - Kx
Displacement = maxVelocity = 0
Acceleration = maxKinetic Energy = 0Net Force = max
Displacement = 0Velocity = max
Acceleration = 0Kinetic Energy = max
Net Force = 0
At point ‘a’
At mean position
At point ‘b’Displacement = max
Velocity = 0Acceleration = maxKinetic Energy = 0Net Force = max

What we conclude is…….
A body executing simple harmonic motion, always vibrates about its mean position.
its acceleration is always directed towards its mean position.
its acceleration is directly proportional to displacement
Its velocity is maximum at the mean position and zero on the extreme positions.
Time Period of Mass spring system
For any object in simple harmonic motion, the time required to complete one cycle is the time period T.
T = 2π √ m / k
PROBLEM
A body of mass 0.5 kg is attached to a spring placed on a horizontal surface . If the spring constant is 8 N/m then find time period of a body.
QUESTIONS
