Draw a diagram of a simple pendulum and explain it's working
Answers
A pendulum basically is a load or mass that is suspended to a stringaucha that when the load is displaced at an amplitude from the Me a position or the equilibrium position I.ei x=0, then the pendulum acts under a restoring force which brings back it to the Mean position and then the this periodic motion contionous to be happen thus this motion is example of a oscillating peroidic motion......
Concept:
A simple pendulum consists of a heavy point mass referred to as the bob suspended from rigid support by a massless and inextensible string. The pendulum is set in motion when the bob is pulled to one side and then released from its mean position, and the bob moves alternately on either side of its mean position.
Explanation:
Some key terms when discussing a simple pendulum are Oscillation; One oscillation is one complete to and fro motion of the pendulum, Time period; The amount of time required to complete one oscillation. Oscillation frequency; The number of oscillations made in one second.
The pendulum is initially at rest in its mean position. When the pendulum's bob is released after swinging it slightly to one side, it begins to move to and fro, which is known as periodic or oscillatory motion.
When the pendulum's bob moves from its mean position O to A, B, and back to O, it is said to have completed one oscillation.
When the pendulum's bob moves from one extreme position A to the other extreme position B and back to A, it completes one oscillation.
