Three simple harmonic motions in the same direction, each of amplitude ' and periodic time are superimposed. The first and second, and the second and third differ in phase from each other by with the first and third not being identical. Then


Important Questions on Linear and Angular Simple Harmonic Motion
As shown in the figure a horizontal platform with a mass placed on it is executing SHM along -axis. If the amplitude of oscillation is , the minimum period of the motion for the mass not to be detached from the platform is:

A small body of mass is connected to two horizontal springs of elastic constant , natural length . In the equilibrium position both springs are stretched to length , as shown in the given figure. What wil be the ratio of period of the motion if the body is displaced horizontally by a small distance where is the time period when the particle oscillates along the line of springs and is time period when the particle oscillates perpendicular to the plane of the figure? Neglect effects of gravity.

A uniform disc of mass and radius is pivoted smoothly at its centre of mass. A light spring of stiffness is attached with the disc tangentially as shown in the following figure. Find the angular frequency in of torsional oscillations of the disc. (Take and .)

A uniform disc of mass and radius is pivoted smoothly at If a uniform disc of mass and radius is welded at the lowest point of the disc, find the period of SHM of the system (disc + ring). (in seconds)
